Kimvent Closed Suction System 8 French 30.5cm Neonatal/pediatric Elbow Manifold

What is MI205-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 8 French 30.5cm Neonatal/pediatric Elbow Manifold?

The MI205-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System is a medical device designed for endotracheal suctioning in neonatal and pediatric patients. Featuring an 8 French gauge and 30.5cm (12-inch) catheter length, it allows for effective airway clearance without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator circuit. The closed-system design helps maintain ventilation and reduces the risk of contamination during suction procedures. This sterile, single-use device includes an elbow manifold for improved alignment with the airway, making it suitable for use in intensive care units, transport settings, and neonatal ICUs.

Key features

• Sterile, Single-Use Design — Minimizes cross-contamination risks in critical care environments.
• 8 French Gauge, 30.5cm Catheter — Optimized for neonatal and pediatric airway dimensions.
• Elbow Manifold — Enhances catheter alignment with endotracheal tubes for smoother insertion.
• Closed System — Maintains ventilator circuit integrity during suctioning.
• ET Length Compatibility — Designed for 30.5cm endotracheal tube placement in small patients.
• Latex-Free Construction — Reduces allergy risks for sensitive pediatric populations.
• Smooth Suction Control — Integrated thumb port allows precise secretion removal.

Who is MI205-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 8 French 30.5cm Neonatal/pediatric Elbow Manifold for?

This suction system is intended for healthcare professionals managing ventilated neonatal and pediatric patients in hospital ICUs, NICUs, and during patient transport. It's especially valuable when maintaining sterile conditions and uninterrupted ventilation is critical. Nurses, respiratory therapists, and critical care providers use this device for routine or emergency airway clearance in fragile patients.

How does MI205-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System 8 French 30.5cm Neonatal/pediatric Elbow Manifold compare?

Compared to open suction systems, the Kimvent closed design reduces the need to disconnect ventilation, helping sustain oxygenation and limiting pathogen exposure. It outperforms standard polypropylene suction catheters in infection control and airway stability. While similar in function to other closed systems, its elbow manifold offers improved ergonomic access in tight ventilator setups. It is specifically sized for pediatric and neonatal use, unlike adult-focused models that may be too large or rigid for small airways.
