Airlife Kimvent Closed Suction Catheter

Yes, as a specialized closed suction catheter system, it is designed to allow safe, in-line suctioning without disconnecting the ventilator circuit. This functionality is essential for helping to maintain Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) during the procedure.

Key product specifications:

• Catheter Size: All variants are 14 French (FR).
• Configurations: Available as a standard Closed Suction Catheter (T-Piece, Tracheostomy) or the specialized Kimvent Turbo Cleaning model.
• Connectors: Variants utilize either the T-Piece or Qwik Clip connector systems.
• Packaging: Supplied in cases of 20 units (20/cs).
• Condition: All units are guaranteed to be Factory New.

The Airlife Kimvent Closed Suction Catheter is standardized across all available variants. The diameter, or French size (FR), is consistently 14 French.

Yes, specific configurations of the Airlife Kimvent Closed Suction Catheter include advanced cleaning and connection features designed for enhanced performance and efficiency in respiratory care, particularly when maintaining a closed circuit.

Key features include:

• Kimvent Turbo Cleaning: Select variants incorporate the Kimvent Turbo Cleaning functionality, which provides efficient, in-line cleaning or flushing of the catheter tip. This helps maximize debris clearance and maintain circuit patency.
• Connection Configurations: You can choose between different connection systems:
  • Standard models often feature a T-Piece connector (suitable for tracheostomy use).
  • The Turbo Cleaning models utilize the Qwik Clip connection system, or a combination of the T-Piece and Qwik Clip.

All available catheter variants are standardized at a 14 French (FR) size and are packaged in cases containing 20 units (20/cs).

Yes, some configurations of the Airlife Kimvent Closed Suction Catheter include a T-Piece, making them suitable for tracheostomy patients.

The Airlife Kimvent Closed Suction Catheter is packaged in standardized case quantities to streamline inventory for clinical use. Each case includes 20 units (20/cs), regardless of the specific configuration (e.g., T-Piece, Qwik Clip, or Kimvent Turbo Cleaning).

Yes, the design of the Airlife Kimvent Closed Suction Catheter is specifically intended to minimize the risk of infection and cross-contamination.This is achieved by maintaining the integrity of the patient ventilation circuit throughout the pulmonary hygiene procedure, thereby reducing patient exposure and circuit contamination often associated with open suctioning methods.

Yes, the Airlife Kimvent Closed Suction Catheter is available in multiple configurations tailored for specialized closed suction procedures. All units are standardized to a 14 French (FR) size and supplied in cases of 20 units (20/cs).

Available configurations include:

• Closed Suction Catheter, T-Piece, Tracheostomy (12”): The traditional option, suitable for tracheostomy applications.
• Kimvent Turbo Cleaning: This advanced feature provides enhanced, in-line cleaning of the catheter tip to help minimize contamination. It is offered in two variants:
  • With Qwik Clip only (12 in/45 cm).
  • With T-Piece and Qwik Clip (12 in/45 cm).

All configurations utilize a closed suction system, which is essential for maintaining PEEP/CPAP and continuous ventilation during the suctioning process.

Yes, the specialized Kimvent Turbo Cleaning feature is available on several configurations of this Airlife Closed Suction Catheter. This advanced system is designed for efficient, in-line debris clearance while maintaining the closed circuit, which is critical for pulmonary hygiene.

Benefits of Kimvent Turbo Cleaning:

• Enhanced Catheter Performance: Optimizes suction function by facilitating debris removal and maintaining a clear catheter tip.
• Closed System Integrity: Allows for flushing and cleaning without disconnecting the ventilator circuit.

These configurations are available in the standard 14 French (FR) size and measure 12 inches (45 cm) in length. You can choose from variants that include a Qwik Clip connector or one featuring both a T-Piece and a Qwik Clip connector.

Yes, all configurations of the Airlife Kimvent Closed Suction Catheter are provided in the specific 14 French (Fr) diameter size.

This standardization is ideal for tracheostomy applications and compatibility with standard suction apparatus. Depending on the specific variant selected, the catheter length is offered in either 12 inches or 45 cm.

No, based on the product specifications, this specific variant of the Airlife Kimvent Closed Suction Catheter is designated for use in the US only.
