Catheter mount spiral expandable connector used in the breathing circuits which has one patient end and machine end
It is used in the ventilator circuit, anesthesia navigation system, etc.
It comprises of 15 mm universal connector, connected to the patient’s end.
Another machine end connected to the Y connector of a ventilator or anesthesia navigation system.
Mainly used to have flexibility with a circuit and avoid kinking of the circuit and Obstruction of circuits
It expands and restrains its normal position.
The body of the lumen is coiled to extend and collide and it can retain as we needed.
Collide and Reduces the length of the catheter mount reduces the dead space of the patient breathing circuit.
Used in anesthesia workstation and in ventilators
Indication
Ventilator circuit
Anesthesia circuit
Catheter mount Use
It used in the ventilator circuit, anesthesia navigation system, etc
Avoid obstruction of the circuit.
It is expandable and retains its normal shape.
It is used to provide a continuous supply of gases and concentration of anesthetic gases with Ventilator Y connector.
Detailed explanation
It comprises a 15mm universal connector and a 22mm connector. One end connected to the patients’ end(Endotracheal tube or Tracheostomy) and another end connected to the machine end(Y-end). collapsible and will have flexibility with the circuit to avoid the kinking of a circuit. extent and collide.
It has the port for suctioning to avoid leaking of the ventilator oxygenation or anesthesia gas.
The body of the lumen coiled to collide and extend.
Single-use and recommended to use only in one patient, the mount must be discarded when the secretion or block. The length of the body will be around 15cm if the length increases the dead space will also increase.
Avoid the maximum length of the mount to avoid dead space.
Another Name
It is available in a different name as the company manufacturer provides.
Fiber-optic Bronchoscope Mount
It seems to appear the same as catheter mount but the indication of the mounts differ.
It has a port designed for the bronchoscopes insertion and suction port.
The port allows the fiber optic bronchoscopy to enter into an Endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube and blocks the airway leakage.
After the use discards the mount as per the biomedical recommendation.
Use only when indicated not in bronchoscopy procedures.
It is a single-use and single patient principle.
It mainly used Fiberoptic bronchoscopic procedures like Percutaneous Tracheostomy-PCT.
Mucus plug extraction.
Lavage and suctioning of Mucus from lungs.
Uses
The use of the FOB mount is the same as Catheter mount.
The FOB-Fiberoptic mount used in Fiberoptic bronchoscopy procedures.
