About Us
A closed suction catheter size 14 is a premium airway management accessory designed for adult patients requiring safe, efficient secretion removal during mechanical ventilation. Engineered to maintain a sealed ventilator circuit, this 14 French (Fr) catheter preserves continuous positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and oxygenation, minimizing hypoxic events and reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Ideal for intensive care units (ICUs), emergency departments, and long-term care facilities, the size 14 closed suction catheter combines superior performance with user-friendly operation.

Key Features & Benefits
Optimal Diameter: At 14 Fr, the catheter balances suction efficiency and patient comfort, effectively clearing tracheal and bronchial secretions without causing undue mucosal irritation.
Closed-Circuit Integrity: Remaining connected to the ventilator tubing, the catheter ensures continuous ventilation and PEEP stability, essential for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or neuromuscular respiratory failure.
Infection Control: Single-use design and biocompatible materials prevent aerosolization of pathogens and cross-patient contamination, supporting stringent hospital-acquired infection (HAI) protocols.
Ergonomic Handle: Lightweight, one-handed operation with a quick-release mechanism allows clinicians to advance and retract the catheter smoothly, reducing procedural time and clinician fatigue.
Clear, Graduated Sheath: Transparent catheter housing with depth markings provides real-time visualization of secretion volume and insertion depth, enhancing accuracy and safety.
Universal Compatibility: Equipped with standard 15 mm and 22 mm connectors, the size 14 catheter integrates seamlessly with most endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes and ventilator circuits.
Clinical Applications
The Closed Suction Catheter Size 14 is indispensable for patients requiring frequent airway clearance, such as postoperative ventilated individuals, patients with high secretion loads, and those on prolonged mechanical ventilation. By eliminating the need to break the ventilator circuit, this catheter reduces the incidence of suction-induced desaturation and maintains stable hemodynamics, improving overall patient outcomes.
By choosing a high-quality Closed Suction Catheter Size 14, healthcare providers can optimize respiratory protocols, elevate patient safety, and uphold the highest standards of infection prevention.
