Product Description
A graduated suction catheter is a sterile, single-use and flexible tube that has two murphy offset eyes at the distal end of the tube and a vacuum controller connector at the opposite end. Graduated suction catheters are available in a range of sizes and lengths. The catheters are used to remove sputum and other secretions from the respiratory tract to prevent blockages in the airways.
