Marshal Cowell Mucous Catheter

Clinical Application

This suction catheter is intended for controlled removal of mucus and secretions from the upper airway and trachea during surgical procedures, anesthesia induction/emergence, ENT procedures and bronchoscopy assistance. It is used to clear secretions that compromise ventilation, obstruct the operative field, or impede endotracheal tube placement and suctioning.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s rigid, handheld configuration gives the operator direct tactile control and precise tip placement compared with flexible disposable catheters. A straight hollow lumen terminating in an open distal tip allows continuous aspiration while minimizing occlusion risk from viscous secretions. The compact profile and manual handling design make it practical for oropharyngeal suctioning, targeted clearing of visible secretions, and adjunctive use during endotracheal intubation or bronchoscopy.
