About CORRUGATED CATHETER MOUNTS

Catheter Mounts Explained

Corrugated catheter mounts are designed to reduce drag on endotracheal tubes or laryngeal masks by transferring the weight of the breathing system away from the patient. They provide a flexible connection between an intubation device and a breathing circuit, which helps in minimizing the jerk of breathing to the trachea, thus reducing trauma. These mounts are typically made of materials like PVC or pliable co-polymer and come with features such as double swivel connectors and elbow ports for easy suctioning.

For example, the Pvc Catheter Circuit Mount Corrugated from Ignite Plus is a urethral type mount suitable for hospital use. It is packaged in a pouch and made in India. Another example is the catheter mount from Be Safe Paramedical, which is designed for use in anesthesia, respiratory care, and resuscitation. It features a 22F connector to connect to the machine and is sterilized by EO (ethylene oxide). These mounts are single-use and should be discarded after use.

Enhanced Patient Safety with Sterile, Disposable Design

These Corrugated Catheter Mounts undergo EO sterilization and are intended for single-use, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination and infection. By adhering to international standards and featuring latex-free medical-grade materials, the product ensures both safety and compatibility for adult and pediatric patients. The mounts' robust shelf life and secure packaging make them reliable for storage and immediate use.

Flexible and Universal for All Breathing Circuits

Engineered with rotatable, ISO-compatible connectors and a highly flexible corrugated structure, these mounts easily adapt to various breathing circuits and airway devices. Their design supports patient mobility without kinking or obstructing airflow. Custom length options and the choice of cuffed or uncuffed ends allow healthcare professionals to optimize configurations based on individual patient needs.

FAQ's of CORRUGATED CATHETER MOUNTS:

Q: How do I select the right length of Corrugated Catheter Mount for my patient?

A: These mounts are available in standard lengths of 15 cm, 22 cm, and 30 cm, with custom lengths upon request. Selection depends on the patient's size, required flexibility, and clinical application. Consult your facility's protocols or a clinician for tailored guidance.

Q: What are the primary benefits of using these Corrugated Catheter Mounts?

A: The main advantages include high flexibility that enables patient movement, universal compatibility with respiratory and anesthesia circuits, minimized dead space, and reduced resistive load, all of which help maintain effective and safe ventilation.

Q: When should I use a sterile, single-use catheter mount instead of reusable options?

A: Sterile, single-use mounts are recommended when minimizing infection risk is critical, such as in intensive care, operating rooms, or when treating immunocompromised patients. They help prevent cross-contamination, especially in multi-patient environments.

Q: What is the correct process for attaching the catheter mount to a breathing circuit?

A: Ensure both circuit ends and connectors are compatible (22M/15F and 22F/15M). Simply align and connect the mount with the circuit and airway device. Check for a firm, leak-proof fit and verify airflow before use. For added flexibility, flexible elbow end types are available.

Q: How should unused Corrugated Catheter Mounts be stored?

A: Store the catheter mounts in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ensuring they remain in intact, unopened packaging to preserve sterility. Always monitor expiration dates for safety.

Q: Is this product suitable for both adults and pediatric patients?

A: Yes, the catheter mounts are designed for use across adult and pediatric populations, providing adaptable length and configuration options to suit different airway management needs.

Q: What materials are used in the construction and how does this impact safety?

A: Each mount is constructed from medical-grade PVC, making them latex-free, lightweight, non-kinking, and safe for individuals with latex allergies. The transparent or translucent design also enables close visual monitoring.
