Kimvent Closed Suction System14 Fr T-piece.

What is MI22113-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System14 Fr T-piece.?

The MI22113-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System14 Fr T-piece is a sterile, single-patient-use airway clearance device designed for mechanically ventilated adults. Measuring 56cm in length with a 14 French (Fr) diameter, it integrates into ventilator circuits to allow endotracheal suctioning without disconnecting the patient from the system. This helps maintain positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and reduces infection risk. The T-piece configuration supports ongoing ventilation during suctioning procedures.

Key features

• 14 Fr T-Piece Design — Enables closed suctioning while maintaining ventilation.
• 56cm Length, 22mm x 22mm Flex Tube — Compatible with standard ventilator circuits.
• 15 mm Swivel Adapter — Reduces tubing tension and enhances patient comfort.
• Directional Tip — Aids in precise catheter placement within the airway.
• Wet Pak with Saline Vials — Provides ready-to-use saline for airway hydration.
• Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) Port — Allows bronchodilator delivery without circuit interruption.
• Sterile, Single-Patient Use — Minimizes cross-contamination risks in clinical environments.

Who is MI22113-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System14 Fr T-piece. for?

This device is intended for healthcare professionals managing adult patients on mechanical ventilation in ICU, long-term acute care, or home care settings. It suits patients requiring frequent suctioning due to excessive secretions from conditions like COPD, pneumonia, or neuromuscular disorders. Nurses and respiratory therapists benefit from its closed-system design for safer, more efficient airway management.

How does MI22113-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System14 Fr T-piece. compare?

Compared to open suction systems, the Kimvent closed system reduces ventilator disconnection, preserving PEEP and oxygenation. It outperforms standard polypropylene catheters with integrated features like the MDI port and swivel adapter. While more costly than basic suction catheters, its design supports better infection control and patient stability—making it a preferred choice over non-vented or rigid T-pieces in critical care protocols.
