CORRUGATED CATHETER MOUNTS

About CORRUGATED CATHETER MOUNTS

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.
