About 6830877-Each Graduated Suction Catheter Mini Kit, 8 Fr
What is 6830877-Each Graduated Suction Catheter Mini Kit, 8 Fr?
This is a single-use, sterile suction catheter kit built around an 8 French graduated catheter, packaged together with the small accessories a clinician or caregiver needs to perform a clean suction pass. Each kit ships with a Safe-T-Vac valve, a blue latex-free nitrile exam glove, and a pop-up solution cup, so the essentials for one procedure are contained in a single peel-open pouch.
Key features
- 8 Fr graduated catheter — the small-bore size is well suited to pediatric airways, narrow nasal passages, and patients who do not tolerate larger catheters.
- Safe-T-Vac valve — gives the user thumb control over suction so vacuum is applied only on withdrawal, helping protect delicate mucosa.
- Latex-free nitrile glove — blue exam glove included in the kit reduces allergy risk and saves a separate grab from the supply cart.
- Pop-up solution cup — collapsible cup expands on opening to hold sterile saline or water for clearing the catheter between passes.
- Sterile packaging — the kit is sealed for single-patient use, supporting clean technique in both clinical and home settings.
- Compact mini format — slim tray footprint fits easily into go-bags, bedside drawers, and crowded procedure carts.
Who is 6830877-Each Graduated Suction Catheter Mini Kit, 8 Fr for?
This kit is aimed at respiratory therapists, home-health nurses, EMS providers, and trained family caregivers managing patients who need occasional airway clearance. The 8 Fr size and pre-bundled accessories make it a practical choice for pediatric patients, tracheostomy care at home, and any setting where a single-procedure, ready-to-open kit is more convenient than gathering loose components.
How does 6830877-Each Graduated Suction Catheter Mini Kit, 8 Fr compare?
Compared with buying a bare suction catheter, this mini kit saves time because the glove, control valve, and rinse cup are already inside the sterile field — useful when you are working alone or in a non-clinical room. Versus full-size suction kits, the mini format costs less and wastes less material per pass, though shoppers who need a larger rinse reservoir or two gloves per procedure may prefer a standard-size kit instead.
Best use cases
- →Home care for chronic wound drainage.
- →Post-operative suction in outpatient clinics.
- →Travel kits for emergency medical responders.
- →Nurse-led intermittent catheterization.

The 6830877-Each Graduated Suction Catheter Kit 8 Fr is best for patients or clinicians who need a quick, sterile suction solution for low-volume drainage.

How it compares: Compared with basic suction catheters that lack a built-in valve or collection cup, this mini kit provides integrated safety and convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the safe-t-vac valve?
▾
The safe-t-vac valve automatically releases excess suction pressure, preventing backflow of fluid into the catheter and protecting delicate tissues. It ensures a consistent negative pressure during drainage, reducing the risk of tissue trauma and making the kit safer for patients with fragile wound beds or sensitive skin.
Does the kit include a latex-free glove?
▾
Yes, each kit contains a single blue nitrile exam glove that is latex-free. The glove provides a barrier for the caregiver while minimizing the chance of allergic reactions, which is especially important in home-care environments where patients may have heightened sensitivity to latex.
How do I dispose of the used cup?
▾
After drainage, close the pop-up cup’s seal and place the entire catheter assembly into a biohazard bag. The sealed cup prevents fluid leakage, allowing safe disposal in accordance with local medical waste regulations. Do not attempt to open the cup for reuse.
Is the 8 Fr size suitable for all patients?
▾
The 8 Fr catheter is designed for low-volume drainage and is comfortable for most adult patients. However, individuals with very large or heavily exuding wounds may require a larger-diameter catheter to achieve adequate flow. Consult a healthcare professional to select the appropriate size.
Can I use the kit with any suction source?
▾
The catheter connects to standard medical suction tubing, so it works with most wall-mounted or portable suction units that provide adjustable negative pressure. Ensure the suction level is set within the recommended range for an 8 Fr catheter to avoid excessive force that could damage tissue.
