A suction catheter is a medical device used to remove secretions from the airway of a patient. It is a type of catheter, which is a tube that is inserted into a body cavity, duct, or vessel to allow the passage of fluids. Suction catheters are commonly used in hospitals and other healthcare settings to help clear the airway of mucus and other secretions. They are also used to help diagnose and treat respiratory conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and asthma. Suction catheters come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and are made from a variety of materials, including plastic, rubber, and metal. They are typically inserted through the nose or mouth and connected to a suction machine. The suction machine creates a vacuum that helps to remove secretions from the airway. Some of the companies in the suction catheter market include Teleflex, Smiths Medical, Medline Industries, and BD. Show Less Read more
