Medline Suction Catheter Kit - 8 Fr DeLee Tip with Contro-Vac Valve, Two Gloves & Cup

Advanced Suction Catheter Kit with Superior Contamination Control

The Medline Suction Catheter Kit delivers comprehensive airway clearance and secretion management with advanced infection control features designed to protect healthcare workers and patients. This complete 8 French kit includes a specialized DeLee tip catheter with innovative Contro-Vac valve technology, two protective gloves, and a collection cup, providing everything needed for safe, effective suctioning procedures in hospitals, emergency departments, neonatal units, and home healthcare settings.

Advanced Contro-Vac Valve Technology

• Superior Fluid Contact Prevention: The innovative Contro-Vac valve design significantly outperforms traditional chimney-style valves by creating a more effective barrier against fluid contact during suctioning procedures. This advanced valve mechanism prevents backflow and splash-back of contaminated secretions, protecting healthcare workers from exposure to potentially infectious bodily fluids and respiratory pathogens.
• Minimized Contamination Risk: By effectively stopping fluid contact and preventing aerosol generation during suction procedures, the Contro-Vac valve helps lower contamination risk for caregivers and reduces the spread of healthcare-associated infections. This enhanced safety feature is especially critical when suctioning patients with contagious respiratory conditions or during high-risk procedures.
• Enhanced Infection Control: The superior valve design is specifically engineered to be better at preventing germ spread during suctioning compared to standard catheter systems. This advanced infection prevention capability supports rigorous hospital infection control protocols and protects both patients and healthcare staff from cross-contamination.

Universal Connectivity & Secure Grip

• 5-in-1 Universal Connector: Versatile connector design accommodates any size suction tubing, eliminating compatibility concerns and reducing the need for multiple adapter types in inventory. The universal fit ensures seamless integration with existing suction equipment in hospitals, ambulances, clinics, and home care settings, streamlining supply management and reducing setup time during urgent procedures.
• Stabilizing Bar for Secure Grip: Integrated stabilizing bar provides healthcare providers with a firm, secure grip during suctioning procedures, enhancing control and precision during delicate airway management. The ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during extended procedures and prevents accidental slippage that could compromise patient safety or procedure effectiveness.
• Reliable Connection Security: The combination of the 5-in-1 connector and stabilizing bar ensures stable, leak-free connections to suction equipment throughout the procedure, maintaining consistent negative pressure for effective secretion removal without interruption or equipment failure.

DeLee Tip Design for Specialized Applications

• 8 French Catheter Size: The 8 Fr diameter provides optimal balance between effective suction capability and gentle tissue contact, making it ideal for neonatal care, pediatric patients, and delicate airway suctioning procedures where smaller catheter sizes are required to prevent trauma.
• DeLee Tip Configuration: Specialized DeLee tip design is particularly effective for oral and nasopharyngeal suctioning, meconium aspiration procedures in newborns, and gentle secretion removal in sensitive airways. The atraumatic tip reduces mucosal damage and patient discomfort during insertion and suctioning.
• Smooth Catheter Construction: High-quality catheter material provides the ideal combination of flexibility for easy navigation through airways and sufficient rigidity to prevent collapse under suction pressure, ensuring consistent performance throughout the procedure.

Complete Kit Contents

• Two Protective Gloves: Includes two examination gloves to provide complete barrier protection for healthcare workers during suctioning procedures, supporting proper infection control protocols and reducing cross-contamination risk. The dual-glove provision accommodates both hands or allows for glove changes during extended procedures.
• Collection Cup: Integrated collection cup provides a convenient receptacle for organizing supplies and collecting specimens when needed, streamlining workflow and maintaining a clean, organized work area during suctioning procedures.
• Ready-to-Use Convenience: All essential components are packaged together in one sterile kit, eliminating the need to gather multiple supplies and reducing preparation time during emergency airway management situations.

Ideal Clinical Applications

Perfect for neonatal intensive care units (NICU), pediatric departments, emergency departments, labor and delivery units, respiratory therapy departments, home healthcare agencies, ambulance services, and outpatient clinics. Suitable for oral and nasopharyngeal suctioning, meconium aspiration in newborns, airway clearance in pediatric patients, secretion management in ventilated patients, emergency airway management, and any clinical scenario requiring gentle, effective suction with enhanced infection control.

Convenient Packaging Options

Available in individual kits for immediate use or case quantities for high-volume facilities, ensuring you always have complete sterile suction supplies ready for urgent airway management needs. Bulk case packaging provides excellent value for hospitals, emergency medical services, and healthcare facilities performing frequent suctioning procedures.
