Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr Elbow Manifold

What is MI2201358-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr Elbow Manifold?

The MI2201358-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr Elbow Manifold is a medical device designed for endotracheal suctioning in ventilated patients. It features a 14 French (Fr) catheter with a 4.6mm outer diameter and a total length of 30.5cm (12 inches), enabling efficient airway clearance without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator. This closed-system design helps maintain ventilation and reduces infection risk during suction procedures.

Key features

• Sterile and Single-Use — Ensures infection control and patient safety.
• 14 Fr Size with 4.6mm O.D. — Matches standard endotracheal tube requirements.
• Elbow Manifold Design — Allows easier access and alignment during use.
• 30.5cm Catheter Length — Suitable for adult tracheal suctioning needs.
• Closed System — Maintains ventilator circuit integrity during suction.
• Latex-Free Construction — Reduces allergy risk for sensitive patients.
• Smooth Catheter Tip — Minimizes airway trauma during insertion.

Who is MI2201358-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr Elbow Manifold for?

This suction system is designed for healthcare professionals managing ventilated patients in ICU, emergency, or long-term care environments. It supports safe, routine airway maintenance in adults requiring mechanical ventilation. Nurses, respiratory therapists, and critical care staff benefit from its reliable performance and infection control features.

How does MI2201358-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 14 Fr Elbow Manifold compare?

Compared to open suction systems, the Kimvent closed design preserves positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and reduces contamination risk. It performs on par with other closed-system catheters in its class, offering consistent flow and durability. While similar in size and function to standard polypropylene suction catheters, its elbow manifold enhances usability in tight ventilator setups.
