FAQs

Q1. What is a closed suction catheter?Ans. A closed suction catheter is a medical device used for suctioning secretions from a patient’s airway while maintaining a sterile environment to reduce the risk of infection.

Q2. What is the difference between open and closed suctioning in catheters?Ans. Open suctioning involves using an open system where the catheter is exposed to the environment, while closed suctioning keeps the catheter within a sterile, enclosed system to minimize contamination risk.

Q3. What is a 72 hour closed suction system?Ans. A 72 hour closed suction system allows for continuous suctioning without needing to change the catheter for up to 72 hours, improving patient comfort and reducing infection risk.

Q4. What is the purpose of a closed suction drain?Ans. A closed suction drain helps remove excess fluid or air from a surgical site while maintaining a sterile environment, promoting healing and reducing the risk of infection.
