Sputum collection kit for testing (Mucus Extractors)
The bottle is made from Polypropylene – PP, medical grade material, clear appearance, cylindrical shape that light can shine through. Makes the secretion inside visible. Durable, not easily broken.
The jar has volume indicators on the side of the bottle that are easy to see from 5 – 25 milliliters, spaced at 1 milliliter per mark.
The suction cable is made from Polyvinylchloride – PVC, Medical Grade material, is clear and restores its shape well, not broken, folded, or bent. The end of the cable is rounded and not sharp.
There is 1 hole at the end of the suction cable and 2 holes on the side that do not match. To increase suction efficiency even more and prevent blockage of the line
There is a cable for connecting to the suction machine with a finger trip control button that will work by pressing to suck. and released to stop mucus suction
The two suction lines and vacuum system connection lines are 50 and 40 centimeters in length, respectively.
Suction lines come in various sizes from 6 to 14 Fr.
What are MUCUS Extractors ? How to collect mucus during COVID-19?
MUCUS Extractors are used with mucus suction machines. or hospital vacuum pressure systems To maintain the airway by removing secretions from the mouth, throat, and respiratory area. It also performs an important function in collecting sputum for testing. Or detect contamination of various substances, dirt, germs, viruses as well.
in a more accurate diagnosis by the treating doctor In some cases, the patient’s pathology may require a sputum examination. or other secretions that there are components Or contamination by germs, viruses, other things or not so that doctors can treat patients quickly. and more accurate
Therefore, collecting sputum Therefore, it is necessary to use a sputum collection kit to collect the sputum and send it for examination in the culture room or laboratory. The sputum collection set will consist of
A mucus suction line that will serve to bring mucus up from the patient’s trachea.
Vacuum hose with finger suction control button ( Finger tip ) is a hose that brings vacuum pressure from the mucus suction machine. or hospital vacuum pressure systems To use as a suction force for mucus
The cover that connects the sputum suction hose and the vacuum hose with a finger suction control button ( Finger tip ) serves to reduce the spread of sputum. while sucking mucus
Bottle containing mucus There will be a volume level indicator on the side of the bottle. In order to have a sufficient amount of sputum to test for infection. Normally, approximately 10 – 15 milliliters of sputum must be added to the test (which depends on the method of testing).
Bottle cap containing sputum for testing which will be located at the bottom of the mucus bottle When suctioning the sputum to a sufficient volume The cover connected to the suction hose will be removed. This is because sending the test with a sputum suction tube may cause contamination. therefore must be discharged And put the cap on the bottom of the bottle to close the bottle instead before sending it for further examination.
In general phlegm suction There will be a diffusion of droplets of saliva, mucus, secretions, including mucus in the respiratory area. Causing random risk that may create a source of accumulation. or contaminated by those droplets. Especially in the era of COVID-19, the generation of aerosols is something that we are even more afraid of. And suctioning mucus in the COVID-19 era must use equipment that prevents the spread of droplets. We will provide a closed suction system catheter or a Close Suction System catheter that will reduce the spread of droplets. While sucking the mucus
As for collecting sputum, it can be done by connecting it with a closed suction system catheter or a Close Suction System catheter, but it must have a special connection. Or is it a model that MUCUS Extractors will change from a mucus suction line? It is a plastic hose with connectors that can be connected to a closed suction system catheter or a Close Suction System catheter instead. which the mucus travels from the respiratory tract Through a closed sputum suction cannula to the plastic tube of the MUCUS Extractors and place in a sputum collection bottle. When sufficient quantity is obtained, disconnect the Close Suction System catheter from the MUCUS Extractors. Next, remove the cover and various cables and discard them into infectious waste. Then replace the cap from the bottom of the bottle. and send a sputum sample for examination or continue experimenting This will reduce the occurrence of aerosols. or contamination has taken another step.
