Mucus Extractor
A sterile, single-use device used to remove mucus and secretions from the airway of patients.
It helps keep the airway clear and reduces the risk of breathing difficulties.
Mucus Extractor
The Mucus Extractor is a sterile, single-use medical device designed for efficient aspiration of mucus, fluids, and secretions from the oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal regions of neonates, infants, and adult patients. It ensures safe airway clearance and reduces the risk of respiratory distress.
Product Overview
The Mucus Extractor is a sterile, single-use medical device designed for efficient aspiration of mucus, fluids, and secretions from the oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal regions of neonates, infants, and adult patients. It ensures safe airway clearance and reduces the risk of respiratory distress.
The device is ergonomically designed to provide controlled suction with minimal trauma to delicate mucosal tissues.
Intended Use
- Removal of mucus from new born babies immediately after birth
- Clearing airway secretions in NICU / ICU settings
- Use in post-operative care
- Emergency airway management
- Suitable for hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare (under supervision)
Working Principle
The device operates on the principle of negative pressure suction:
- The catheter is gently inserted into the patient’s airway
- Suction is applied via mouthpiece or suction machine
- Mucus is aspirated and collected in the chamber
- The transparent chamber allows monitoring of extracted volume
Performance Features
- High suction efficiency with minimal effort
- Anti-backflow design (optional)
- Smooth internal surface to prevent blockage
- Secure connections to avoid leakage
- Odor-free and non-reactive materials
