Kimvent Closed Suction System 10 Fr Elbow - 2103

What is MI2103-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 10 Fr Elbow - 2103?

The MI2103-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 10 Fr Elbow - 2103 is a single-use, sterile endotracheal suction catheter designed for patients on mechanical ventilation. Measuring 30-1/2 cm in length with a 10 French diameter and an angled elbow tip, this device enables clinicians to perform airway suctioning without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator circuit. Maintaining continuous ventilation reduces the risk of hypoxia and contamination, making it ideal for critical care environments where patient stability is essential during routine secretion management.

Key features

• Sterile Single-Use Design — Ensures infection control and patient safety with each application.
• 10 Fr Size — Optimized for smaller airways, minimizing trauma during insertion.
• Elbow Tip Configuration — Facilitates easier navigation into curved endotracheal tubes.
• 30-1/2 cm Length — Suitable for adult and select pediatric applications.
• Closed System — Allows suctioning without ventilator disconnection, preserving PEEP.
• Latex-Free Construction — Reduces allergy risks for sensitive patients.
• Clear Graduations — Enables precise depth control during insertion.

Who is MI2103-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 10 Fr Elbow - 2103 for?

This suction system serves healthcare providers managing ventilated patients in ICU, NICU, and long-term acute care settings. It’s ideal for nurses and respiratory therapists who require reliable, efficient airway clearance with minimal patient disruption. The closed design supports infection control protocols and is especially beneficial for patients with compromised respiratory function or those at risk of oxygen desaturation during open suctioning.

How does MI2103-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 10 Fr Elbow - 2103 compare?

Compared to standard open suction catheters, the MI2103-Each Kimvent system maintains ventilator circuit integrity, reducing the risk of pressure loss and contamination. Its closed design outperforms traditional methods in oxygenation stability during procedures. While similar in function to other closed systems, its 10 Fr size and elbow tip offer enhanced maneuverability in narrow or angled airways, differentiating it from straight-tip or larger-bore alternatives. It is comparable in price to other branded single-patient-use units but offers consistent quality and sterility assurance.
