What is Suction Therapy?

Suction Therapy is a type of technique used to remove saliva, thick mucus and other secretions from the mouth, trachea or the lower airway that the patient is unable to clear by himself. Suctioning is usually done after respiratory treatments, or in the morning and before sleeping in case of a tracheostomy. Suctioning does not any pain under normal circumstances. The patient might feel short of breath for a while and might cough, but otherwise it should not cause any problem. Also, suctioning may be required in case the patient:

Has a moist cough that cannot clear secretions
Is unable to clear secretions from the throat by himself
Is having breathing issues or feel clogged due to mucus and secretions

Suction machines for saliva are medical equipment that are basically used to extract mucus and other fluids from the mouth of an individual. HPFY offers an extensive range of aspirators is perfect for patients with a tracheotomy. Durable, high-performance aspirators make tracheostomy care convenient and hassle free. Aspirators produce vacuums in a constricted stream of bodily fluids to remove them.

Yankauers

A yankauer is a tube that is used in the mouth to suck saliva and other fluids. The large lumens of yankauers are designed to provide rapid aspiration thereby resisting clogging. Features of a yankauer:
