Abstract

There is provided a suction catheter having a tubular body with a lumen formed therethrough. The catheter has a plurality of spaced elongated apertures positioned near its distal tip. The catheter may have a fourth round opening positioned proximally to the three openings. The catheter has reduced impact force compared to similar suction catheters without the plurality of apertures near the distal tip.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of US Patent Application 12 / 335,508 filed December 15, 2008 and claims the related benefit of that application. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates to improved medical care of intubated patients, and more particularly to a novel aspiration catheter for aspirating mucus and other fluids and secretions from at least a portion of a patient's airway, the tracheobronchial passage. More specifically, the present invention relates to aspiration catheters with improved tip configurations that allow for more efficient aspiration of the tracheobronchial passages while reducing trauma thereto during aspiration. [0003] Suction catheters have historically consisted of flexible plastic tubing with a centrally formed lumen. These aspiration catheters typically have a tapered distal end or tip in which an opening is formed that is axially aligned with the lumen of the catheter. The proximal end of the catheter is con...
