A 72-Hour Suction System is a specialized closed-circuit airway clearance device designed to provide continuous, contamination-free suctioning for up to three days in ventilated or tracheostomized adult patients. Engineered for critical care environments, this disposable system maintains optimal respiratory support, reduces infection risk, and minimizes circuit disconnections—all essential factors in modern ICU and long-term care settings.

Key Features & Benefits
Extended-Use Design: Certified for up to 72 hours of uninterrupted use without compromising suction performance, reducing the frequency of catheter changes and staff workload.
Closed-Circuit Integrity: The sealed system prevents aerosolization and cross-contamination during suctioning, helping meet stringent hospital-acquired infection (HAI) protocols.
Continuous Positive Pressure: By staying connected to the ventilator circuit, the device preserves positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and oxygenation, critical for patients with ARDS, COPD, or neuromuscular respiratory failure.
Ergonomic and Clear Monitoring: A transparent catheter sheath with graduated markings allows precise depth control and visual confirmation of secretion volume. The ergonomic handle feature ensures smooth catheter advancement and withdrawal.
Universal Compatibility: Equipped with standard 15 mm and 22 mm connectors, the system seamlessly integrates with most mechanical ventilators and tracheostomy tubes on the market.
Cost Efficiency: Extended dwell time and bulk packaging options lower overall supply costs and reduce waste associated with frequent disposables.
Clinical Applications
The 72-Hour Suction System is ideal for adult intensive care patients who require frequent airway clearance but cannot tolerate repeated circuit breaks. It’s particularly beneficial for those with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic lung disease, or prolonged mechanical ventilation. By maintaining a closed, sterile environment, this system enhances patient safety, reduces nursing interventions, and supports continuous respiratory therapy goals.
By choosing a high-quality 72-Hour Suction System, healthcare providers can deliver superior patient care, streamline respiratory protocols, and uphold the highest standards of infection prevention.
