Description

Akacia Suction Catheter 14FG (Green)

The Akacia 14FG suction catheter is a sterile, single-use airway suction catheter designed for safe and effective removal of respiratory secretions. Color-coded green for quick identification, this 14 French (14FG) PVC catheter delivers reliable suction performance for hospitals, clinics, emergency care and respiratory therapy settings.

Key Benefits

• Sterile, single-use design reduces infection risk and simplifies workflow.
• 14FG (14 French) size — color-coded green for rapid identification and sizing accuracy.
• Medical-grade PVC with smooth, atraumatic rounded tip and lateral eyelets for gentle suctioning.
• Compatible with standard suction tubing and connectors for quick set-up.
• Ideal for airway management, secretion removal, tracheal and oropharyngeal suctioning.

Ingredients and Materials

Manufactured from medical-grade, soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Latex-free and biocompatible materials. Sterile (ethylene oxide sterilized) and supplied in sealed individual packaging. Single-lumen design with a smooth, rounded atraumatic tip and lateral eyelets to reduce mucosal trauma during suctioning. Color-coded green to denote 14 French (14FG) size.

How to Use

1. Confirm package integrity and expiration date. Use only if sterile packaging is intact.
2. Assemble suction regulator and tubing according to facility protocol; set suction pressure per patient age and clinical guidelines.
3. Attach catheter to suction tubing, maintaining aseptic technique.
4. Gently insert catheter into oropharynx or tracheostomy tube without applying suction.
5. Apply intermittent suction while withdrawing the catheter in a rotating motion to clear secretions; avoid continuous suction to minimize mucosal injury.
6. Discard catheter after single use following biohazard waste procedures.

Always follow local clinical protocols and manufacturer instructions for use when performing airway suctioning.

Who It’s For

Designed for healthcare professionals and facilities including hospitals, emergency departments, intensive care units, long-term care, respiratory therapists, paramedics, ENT clinics and home healthcare providers requiring reliable airway suctioning supplies.

Caution & Storage

Caution: For single use only. Do not reuse or resterilize. Do not use if packaging is damaged or expired. Use with appropriate suction pressures and within clinical guidelines to avoid mucosal injury. Keep out of reach of unauthorized persons.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extremes of temperature. Maintain original packaging until use. Dispose of used catheters following local biohazard and medical waste regulations.
