About Us
A 14 Fr Inline Suction Catheter is a high-performance airway clearance device designed to provide safe, efficient secretion removal for adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation. This single-use, inline catheter seamlessly integrates into the ventilator circuit, eliminating the need for circuit disconnection and preserving continuous positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Engineered for critical care, emergency, and long-term care environments, the 14 French (Fr) inline suction catheter combines optimal suction capacity with patient comfort and stringent infection control.

Key Features & Benefits
Optimal French Size: At 14 Fr, this catheter delivers a balanced lumen diameter that efficiently evacuates tracheal and bronchial secretions while minimizing mucosal trauma and patient discomfort.
Inline Integration: The catheter remains connected within the ventilator circuit (“inline”), ensuring uninterrupted ventilation, stable oxygenation, and reduced hypoxia risk during suctioning procedures.
Closed-Circuit Design: A fully sealed system prevents aerosolization of pathogens and cross-contamination, supporting stringent hospital-acquired infection (HAI) control protocols and enhancing clinician safety.
Ergonomic Control Module: A lightweight handle with one-handed, push-and-pull operation allows precise catheter advancement and withdrawal. Integrated depth markers on the transparent sheath provide real-time visualization of secretion volume and insertion depth.
Universal Compatibility: Standard 15 mm and 22 mm connectors ensure seamless fit with most endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes as well as a wide range of ventilator brands, simplifying inventory management.
Cost-Effective & Disposable: Single-patient use reduces the need for cleaning and sterilization, lowers labor costs, and minimizes waste associated with reusable systems.
Clinical Applications
The 14 Fr Inline Suction Catheter is indispensable for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), neuromuscular disorders, and postoperative ventilation needs. By maintaining a closed circuit, it supports stable hemodynamics, reduces suction-induced desaturation events, and streamlines respiratory therapy protocols.
Choosing a premium 14 Fr Inline Suction Catheter helps healthcare providers optimize respiratory care, elevate patient safety, and uphold the highest standards of infection prevention.
