About Us
A 10 French (Fr) Inline Suction Catheter is a specialized airway clearance device engineered for adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation. This single-use, inline catheter integrates seamlessly into the ventilator circuit—maintaining continuous ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)—while safely removing tracheal and bronchial secretions. Designed for critical care, emergency, and long-term care environments, its 10 Fr diameter offers an optimal balance between suction efficiency and patient comfort.

Key Features & Benefits
Optimal Diameter (10 Fr): The 10 French size provides sufficient lumen area to evacuate secretions effectively, yet remains slim enough to minimize mucosal irritation and patient discomfort during insertion and withdrawal.
Inline Closed-Circuit Design: By remaining connected to the ventilator tubing, the catheter preserves PEEP and FiO₂ levels, reducing hypoxia risk and hemodynamic instability associated with circuit breaks.
Infection Control: The sealed, disposable system prevents aerosolization of pathogens, lowers cross-contamination risk, and aligns with strict hospital-acquired infection (HAI) protocols, safeguarding both patients and healthcare staff.
Ergonomic Control Module: A lightweight, one-handed push-pull handle enables precise catheter advancement. Integrated depth markers on the transparent sheath allow real-time visualization of secretion volume and insertion depth, improving procedural accuracy.
Universal Compatibility: Standard 15 mm and 22 mm connectors fit most endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes as well as a wide variety of ventilator models, simplifying inventory management and clinical workflows.
Clinical Applications
The 10 Fr Inline Suction Catheter is ideal for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), neuromuscular disorders, and postoperative ventilated patients requiring frequent airway clearance. Its inline design streamlines respiratory therapy protocols by eliminating the need for ventilator circuit disconnections, thereby reducing suction-induced desaturation events and improving overall patient stability.
By choosing a premium 10 French Inline Suction Catheter, healthcare providers can optimize respiratory care, elevate patient safety, and uphold the highest standards of infection prevention.
