Shandong Steve Medical Technology Co., Ltd. Closed Suction Catheter: A Safe and Efficient Solution for Airway Management

In clinical scenarios such as intensive care and respiratory therapy, the timely removal of airway secretions is crucial to ensuring patients’ unobstructed breathing and preventing complications like pulmonary infections. Deeply rooted in the medical device industry, Shandong Steve Medical Technology Co., Ltd. has launched the closed suction catheter, which has become the preferred equipment for clinical airway management due to its scientific design and outstanding performance, providing a safe and efficient suction solution for critically ill patients.

Core Product Definition and Working Principle

The closed suction catheter is a disposable medical device specifically designed for removing airway secretions. Its core advantage lies in completing the suction operation without disconnecting the patient from ventilators or oxygen therapy equipment. The product operates based on negative pressure suction technology: by connecting to a professional negative pressure device, it uses preset negative pressure to accurately aspirate accumulated sputum, mucus, and other secretions from the patient’s airway. Meanwhile, the closed structure prevents direct contact between the airway and external air, maintaining the airtightness and stability of the airway throughout the process.

Applicable Populations and Clinical Scenarios

This product is mainly suitable for the following populations and scenarios:

• Critically ill patients requiring long-term mechanical ventilation (e.g., ICU patients, post-operative patients in need of respiratory support);
• Patients with respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia that cause thick, accumulated sputum;
• Patients with impaired consciousness or weakened/lost cough reflex who cannot expel sputum independently.

Product Advantages and Quality Assurance

Shandong Steve Medical Technology Co., Ltd.’s closed suction catheter adheres to international medical standards in design and production, boasting the following prominent advantages:

• High-Quality Materials: Made of medical-grade soft silicone or PVC, it offers excellent biocompatibility, flexibility, and smoothness, minimizing frictional damage to the airway mucosa;
• Humanized Design: Available in a full range of lengths and diameters to meet the airway needs of different age groups (adults, children, infants). Some models are equipped with irrigation channels for convenient tube cleaning during operation, improving suction efficiency;
• Secure Sealing: The precision-sealed structure ensures stable negative pressure, preventing air and fluid leakage and guaranteeing the safety and effectiveness of the suction process;
• Compliant Production: The product has obtained international certifications such as ISO and CE, and the production process complies with GMP standards. Each batch of products undergoes rigorous quality inspections to ensure reliability in clinical use.
