Catheter Mount with Elbow Connector – Flexicare

Catheter Mount: Essential Connection for Patient Ventilation

The catheter mount is a critical medical device designed to connect an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway to a breathing circuit during anesthesia or critical care. The Flexicare Catheter Mount with Elbow Connector offers a flexible and secure interface that reduces drag on the airway device by transferring the weight of the breathing system away from the patient. This flexibility improves patient comfort and facilitates easier maneuvering during ventilation procedures.

Benefits of the Catheter Mount with Elbow Connector

The Flexicare catheter mount offers multiple advantages in clinical practice. Its flexible design reduces tension on the endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask, minimizing the risk of airway dislodgement and patient discomfort. The variety of elbow types, including swivel options, allows clinicians to adapt the connection to different patient positions and clinical scenarios, enhancing ease of use and safety.

Using medical-grade PVC ensures biocompatibility and durability, while the compliance with ISO 5367 guarantees compatibility with standard breathing circuits and airway devices. This catheter mount supports efficient ventilation during anesthesia, intensive care, and emergency procedures.

Usage and How to Use the Catheter Mount

The catheter mount is placed between the patient’s airway device—such as an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask—and the breathing circuit. The elbow connector facilitates a flexible and secure connection, allowing free movement without compromising the airway seal. The swivel elbow models enable rotation to accommodate patient positioning and reduce tubing kinks.

To use, select the appropriate catheter mount model based on the connector sizes and elbow type required. Attach the mount securely to the airway device and then connect it to the breathing circuit. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. The device can be cleaned and disinfected according to hospital protocols to maintain hygiene.
