Frequently asked questions
Does this system improve patient safety during suctioning?
Yes, the Ballard system uses a Closed System Design. This significantly enhances patient safety by:
- Minimizing the risk of cross-contamination or infection.
- Preventing the loss of vital ventilation and oxygenation levels during the procedure.
Can I administer medication without opening the circuit?
Absolutely. The device features an integrated Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) port. This allows for the convenient delivery of aerosolized medications directly into the circuit without needing to break the seal, maintaining a stable respiratory environment.
Is the suction control easy to manage?
Yes, the catheter utilizes a thumb valve vent. This configuration, combined with the T-piece design, provides clinicians with highly precise, intuitive, and responsive control over the suctioning procedure.
What is the catheter made of?
The catheter is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade PVC. This material is selected for its durability and safety, ensuring reliable performance in demanding respiratory care environments.
Does this come with additional length for flexibility?
Yes, each unit includes a 22 mm x 22 mm, 4-inch flex tube. This extension is designed to provide greater maneuverability for the clinician when connecting the device to standard ventilator circuits.
Is this suitable for adult patients?
Yes, this specific model (14 Fr.) is engineered specifically for adult respiratory care.
Are these catheters individually sterile?
Yes, every Ballard Closed Suction Catheter is sterile and designed for single-patient use to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and patient safety.
Is this compatible with standard ventilator circuits?
Yes, it is designed with a standard T-piece interface, making it fully compatible for seamless integration into standard anesthesia and respiratory ventilator circuits.
How long is the catheter itself?
The total length of the device is 21.3 inches, providing an appropriate reach for standard endotracheal suctioning requirements in adult patients.
Is the condition of this product new?
Yes, all units provided are factory new. This ensures you receive the most current, pristine, and reliable equipment directly from the manufacturer.
