Oral Suction Catheters

Oral suction catheters, also known as Yankeur suction catheters, are medical devices used to remove saliva, mucus, and other fluids from the mouth and throat. They are typically used in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings, but they can also be used at home by people with certain medical conditions, such as stroke, head injury, or spinal cord injury.

Oral suction catheters are made of soft, flexible plastic. They come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different patients. The catheters have a rounded tip to prevent injury to the patient’s mouth and throat.

To use an oral suction catheter, the catheter is inserted into the patient’s mouth and positioned behind the tongue. Suction is then applied to the catheter to remove fluids from the mouth and throat.
