Carton Mucous Catheter 5mm, 30cm

Clinical Application

This small-bore suction catheter is intended to evacuate mucus and secretions from the upper and lower airway during perioperative care, anesthesia, recovery, and routine airway management. The 5 mm lumen provides targeted aspiration where larger-bore catheters may be too large or traumatic, while the 30 cm length permits access from the oropharynx into the proximal trachea and airway during intubation, extubation, tracheostomy care, and bedside suctioning.

Design & Configuration

The slender, flexible geometry minimizes mucosal irritation and allows atraumatic navigation around oral and pharyngeal anatomy. A 5 mm internal diameter balances lumen patency and maneuverability—adequate for evacuating viscous secretions while maintaining a low profile in confined airways. The 30 cm overall length gives clinicians reach into the proximal trachea without excessive slack, supporting controlled suctioning in both procedural and routine care settings.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Mucous (suction) catheter
• Pattern / model: Carton
• Configuration: Flexible small-bore suction catheter
• Size: 5 mm diameter
• Length: 30 cm
• Typical use: Removal of airway secretions during anesthesia, recovery, ICU, and bedside airway management
• Material: Medical-grade flexible polymer tubing

Material & Construction

Constructed from medical-grade flexible polymer tubing with a smooth internal lumen to promote continuous suction flow and reduce clogging. The flexible wall construction facilitates atraumatic passage through the oropharynx and into the proximal trachea while maintaining lumen patency under negative pressure.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
