Avanos Turbo-Cleaning Closed Suction System, which features BALLARD* Technology, is the only catheter that retracts within a unique, isolated vacuum-sealed turbulent cleaning chamber. The turbulent cleansing action results to 89% cleaner catheter tip, as compared to a standard closed suction system. The reduced bacterial colonization helps prevent chances of VAP.

FEATURES and BENEFITS:

• Double swivel elbow for suctioning and ventilation.
• Twin PEEP Seal Technology helps reduce PEEP loss and inadvertent lavage
• One-way lavage port for saline administration and hinged valve to isolate the catheter tip.
• One-way needleless irrigation prevents “spray-back” and cross-contamination.
• Turbulent cleaning action decreases bacterial colonization of catheter tip by 89%. 
• Tactile sleeve facilitates operation in catheter advancement.
• Easy-to-read markings prevents unnecessary deep suctioning and mucosal damage.
• 72 hours single patient use catheter
• Thumb valve with 360º lock system prevents accidental suctioning.
