Suction therapy accessories consist of a range of components and devices designed to optimize the effectiveness and convenience of the suctioning process. These accessories include suction catheters and tips for removing secretions, collection canisters and liners for collecting and disposing of suctioned material, tubing & connectors to facilitate the flow, suction filters to prevent contamination, suction control devices for adjusting suction pressure, lubricating gels or solutions for easier insertion, sterile water or normal saline for irrigation, and storage and disposal accessories for maintaining hygiene.
These accessories are vital in ensuring efficient secretion clearance, reducing complications, and improving patients' overall experience undergoing suction therapy. Healthcare professionals must choose appropriate accessories and adhere to proper protocols to achieve optimal outcomes in suction therapy.
