Frequently asked questions

Does the closed system ensure airway sterility?

Yes, the core design of the Dynarex Closed Suction Catheters is to maintain a sterile, sealed environment. This significantly enhances safety and clinical efficacy during endotracheal suctioning.

The closed system provides crucial advantages for both the patient and the clinician:

  • Maximized Infection Control: By limiting patient exposure to pulmonary secretions, the risk of infection and cross-contamination is significantly minimized.
  • Continuous Ventilation: Secretions can be cleared without disconnecting the patient from the mechanical ventilator circuit, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted respiratory support.
  • PEEP Maintenance: Keeping the circuit intact helps preserve essential Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) and stable lung volumes, which is critical for patient stability.
How many units are included per case?

These Dynarex Closed Suction Catheters are packaged with a case quantity designated as 2/10 per case.

All units are supplied in Factory New condition and feature graduated markings for precise placement indication.

Does the system maintain continuous ventilation?

Yes, these Dynarex Closed Suction Catheters are specifically designed for endotracheal suctioning within a closed system. This closed design is essential as it allows for safe suctioning while:

  • Maintaining continuous ventilation and PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure).
  • Preventing the disruption of the ventilator circuit.
  • Reducing the risk of infection and cross-contamination by keeping the system sealed.

The catheters are offered in sizes 10 fr, 12 fr, 14 fr, and 16 fr, with options for either the DOUBLE SWIVEL Elbox/Flex or the T-PIECE Flex Tube configuration.

Does this feature the Double Swivel Elbox configuration?

Yes, the Dynarex Closed Suction Catheters are available in multiple configurations to suit varying clinical needs and maximize flexibility.

The two primary configuration options are:

  • DOUBLE SWIVEL Elbox, Flex Tube: This design incorporates a double swivel elbow, which often provides enhanced maneuverability and positioning flexibility during suctioning.
  • T-PIECE Flex Tube: This is the alternative standard configuration option.
Does the closed design maintain continuous ventilation?

Yes, the closed suction design offers critical benefits for maintaining stable respiratory support and infection control:

  1. Continuous Ventilation and PEEP: It allows for the safe removal of pulmonary secretions without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator circuit. This is essential for maintaining consistent Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) and stable ventilation throughout the procedure.
  2. Infection Control: By keeping the system closed, it significantly minimizes environmental exposure, thereby reducing the risk of contamination and infection associated with suctioning.
Are these catheters reusable?

No, Dynarex Closed Suction Catheters are designed for single use only to prevent cross-contamination and ensure patient safety.

What French catheter sizes are available?

The Dynarex Closed Suction Catheters are designed to accommodate varied clinical needs during endotracheal suctioning by offering a selection of French sizes.The available sizes are: * 10 French (fr) * 12 French (fr) * 14 French (fr) * 16 French (fr)

What flexible connector configurations are available?

The Dynarex Closed Suction Catheters are designed with two primary, highly flexible configurations, allowing clinical staff to select the option best suited for their ventilation circuit and patient needs:

  • DOUBLE SWIVEL Elbox, Flex Tube: This design provides enhanced flexibility and ease of maneuverability, which is essential for managing patients requiring repositioning.
  • T-PIECE Flex Tube: This configuration offers a straightforward, durable connection point for in-line integration directly into the ventilator circuit.

Both configurations ensure the maintenance of a closed airway system during precise endotracheal suctioning.

Does the closed suction system maximize safety?

Yes, the Dynarex Closed Suction Catheters are specifically engineered to provide a safe, closed-loop system during endotracheal suctioning. This design is critical for maximizing patient safety and minimizing risks in respiratory care settings.

Key Safety Benefits of the Closed System:

  • Respiratory Stability: The system helps maintain crucial Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) throughout the procedure, supporting the patient’s oxygenation and lung stability.
  • Infection Control: Suctioning can be performed without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator circuit, which significantly reduces the potential for contamination and cross-infection.
  • Minimized Exposure: The closed nature of the circuit protects both the patient from airborne pathogens and the healthcare worker from patient secretions.

For enhanced procedural safety, these catheters also feature integrated depth markings to facilitate precise placement.

Are these closed suction catheters factory new?

Yes, these Dynarex Closed Suction Catheters are guaranteed factory new. This ensures optimal quality and sterility, making them ready for immediate and safe medical use.
