Hygiene: Clean Hands

Before using surgical suction catheters, you need to ensure that your hands are thoroughly cleaned.

Using Surgical Suction Catheters

After checking the physical condition of the catheter and cleaning your hands, you can proceed to use them. Follow these steps to ensure safety and effectiveness:

Place the Catheter in the Suction Area

First, you need to place one end of the surgical suction catheter in the area that requires suction. Ensure that the suction end makes direct contact with the fluid to be removed. Be careful not to spill the liquid outside the treatment area.

Apply Gentle Suction

Once the catheter is in the correct position, apply gentle suction to remove excess fluid. This should be done gently to avoid damaging soft tissues or causing discomfort to the patient. This is especially important in endoscopic surgeries where the catheter must be used accurately.

Storage: Dispose of the Catheter as Required

After completing the use of surgical suction catheters, you need to dispose of them according to medical waste regulations. This ensures that the catheters are handled safely and do not harm the environment. Please adhere to all medical waste regulations of the healthcare facility you are working at.

During the use of surgical suction catheters, always seek advice and consult with a professional medical doctor or healthcare staff. They have the experience and knowledge to ensure that you use the catheter safely and effectively. This is crucial for protecting your health and the patient’s.
