BALLARD* Turbo-Cleaning Closed Suction System

Proven to provide an 89% cleaner catheter tip⁷

BALLARD* Turbo-Cleaning Closed Suction System from AVANOS, which features technology from BALLARD* trach care, is the only catheter that retracts within a unique and isolated turbulent cleaning chamber. The turbulent cleansing action results in an 89% cleaner catheter tip compared to a standard closed suction system⁷. This reduced colonisation may help reduce risk of VAE and VAP in your ventilated patients.

Manipulation of the ventilator circuit can increase cross-contamination – a leading cause of VAP.⁷

To help protect patients, a closed ventilator circuit is recognised as a best practice in the prevention of VAP^3,5 to maintain ventilation and oxygen therapy throughout suctioning, preventing approximately 50% of the lung volume fall observed when suctioning after disconnection from the ventilator.⁴ Closed suctioning is a best practice that protects patients and caregivers.^3,5

Turbo Cleaning - How it works

Turbo Cleaning - How it works

The BALLARD* Turbo-Cleaning Closed Suction System retracts with a unique and isolated turbulent cleaning chamber, making it the only catheter proven to reduce bacterial load on the catheter tip by 89% in a 72-hour period.⁷ The presence of such a valve should be considered essential in preserving lung volumes and uninterrupted ventilation in mechanically ventilated patients.⁴
