Suction Catheter
Product Code : LSK-HD-10885
Suction Catheter (SKU LSK-HD-10885) is a smooth catheter of implantation-tested PVC designed for tracheal and bronchial suction, with an open distal end, one lateral eye and a radio-opaque line that shows on X-ray. It comes pouch-packed in sizes from 8 to 20 mm, in a thumb-control version and a plain version. Nursing colleges, respiratory-care courses, health projects and distributors can order it, and Science Lab Supplies arranges the supply from Ambala, India for contractors and export buyers alike.
Specifications
Both suction catheter versions are set out row by row below. In short, they share the implantation-tested PVC body, the open distal end with one lateral eye and the X-ray detectable line, and they differ in whether a thumb control is fitted; each comes pouch-packed in 8 to 20 mm sizes.

Applications and Experiments for the Suction Catheter
The suction catheter removes secretions from the trachea and bronchi when connected to a suction source. In training it can be used on airway-care manikins, so nursing and paramedical trainees learn catheter selection by size, thumb-control technique and the purpose of the X-ray detectable line.
- B.Sc. Nursing and GNM airway-care practicals: practising open suctioning on a manikin while wearing Latex Surgical Gloves.
- Respiratory therapy and emergency medical technician courses: comparing the thumb-control and plain versions and choosing a size between 8 and 20 mm.
- Radiology teaching: showing how a radio-opaque line makes a catheter visible on an X-ray film.
- Waste-handling drills, with used catheters placed in a Biohazard Bag for disposal.
Standard Scope of Supply
The suction catheter arrives pouch-packed, in the sizes ordered from the 8 to 20 mm range and in the thumb-control or plain version. Name each size and its quantity when you enquire; suction tubing, gloves and collection containers can be quoted as separate lines on the same document.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover a handful of catheters for a skills lab or mixed cartons across several sizes for a project store.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the suction catheter come in?
It is offered in sizes from 8 to 20 mm, in both the thumb-control and the plain pouch-packed version. List each size and quantity on your enquiry so the quotation can be broken down line by line.
What does the thumb control do?
On the thumb-control version, suction is applied while the user covers the control port with a thumb and stops when the thumb is lifted, which lets trainees practise intermittent suction on a manikin.
Why does the catheter have a radio-opaque line?
The radio-opaque line shows up on an X-ray, so the catheter can be located on a film. In teaching, it helps explain how tube position is checked, a point that also applies to feeding and gastric tubes in the same range.
Who supplies the Suction Catheter?
Buyers can order this catheter from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which sources it rather than producing it and handles quotations and dispatch for training institutes, health projects, contractors and distributors at home and overseas.
