Description
The Med RX 16 Fr Open-Line Straight Suction Catheter is a larger-gauge, single-use respiratory catheter suited to adult patients who produce thick or copious secretions that require a wider lumen for effective clearance. The 16 French size offers higher flow capacity compared to smaller-gauge options, reducing the number of suction passes needed and shortening procedure time. The integrated control valve allows the clinician to advance the catheter without live suction, applying negative pressure only once optimal placement is confirmed. Supplied sterile in a case of 50, this catheter is appropriate for intensive care, tracheostomy care, and high-acuity home-nursing settings.
