Description

The BALLARD Closed Suction System is designed to enhance patient care in critical settings. With a French size of 12Fr and a length of 54cm, this system is tailored for adult patients requiring effective airway management, particularly those in intensive care units on mechanical ventilation.

Key Features

• TURBO Cleaning Technology
  The system incorporates Avanos BALLARD Turbo-Cleaning technology, providing a turbulent cleansing action that results in an 89% cleaner catheter tip compared to standard closed suction systems.

• Closed Suction Design
  This design allows for continuous ventilation and oxygenation during suctioning, reducing the risk of hypoxia and enhancing patient safety.

• Double Swivel Elbow
  Features a double swivel elbow for improved flexibility, minimizing the need for multiple connectors and increasing ease of use and patient comfort.

• Built-In MDI & T-Piece
  Compatible with metered-dose inhalers for pulmonary drug delivery and includes a T-piece adapter.

• Gamma Sterilized
  Ensures sterility with a 3-year shelf life, providing safe and reliable medical use.

Additional Components

• Saline Vials
  Each package includes saline vials aseptically filled for use with the system.

• Infection Control
  Advanced infection control features are integrated into the catheter and closed suction system, setting a new standard for in-line suctioning.

Material

Constructed primarily from polyethylene, the system offers durability and flexibility essential for medical applications.

Purpose and Benefits

The BALLARD Closed Suction System plays a crucial role in maintaining patient oxygenation while effectively removing secretions. It helps reduce risks associated with ventilator-associated events (VAEs), thereby improving the overall management of mechanically ventilated patients.
