From the leader in closed suctioning, our Closed Suction Systems with BALLARD* Technology offers advanced infection control features that have redefined the standard of closed suctioning care for over 25 years.
These unique infection prevention features have been proven to reduce cross-contamination, reducing ICU days and associated costs.1
Helping You Protect Your Patients from VAE.
BALLARD* TURBO-CLEANING CLOSED SUCTION SYSTEM
Turbo-Cleaning – How it Works
BALLARD* Turbo-Cleaning Closed Suction System, which features technology from BALLARD* trach care, is the only catheter that retracts within a unique, isolated and vacuum-sealed turbulent cleaning chamber. The turbulent cleansing action results in an 89% cleaner catheter tip compared to a standard closed suction system.1 This reduced colonisation may help reduce risk of VAE and VAP in your ventilated patients.
BALLARD* MULTI-ACCESS PORT CLOSED SUCTION SYSTEM
Multiple access. Multiple procedures. One closed circuit.
The BALLARD* Multi-Access Port Closed Suction System features a compact rotating manifold that provides multiple ports to access the patient’s airway, without jeopardizing integrity of the closed circuit. A closed circuit helps you protect your patient from cross-contamination, VAE and VAP.
Features:
- Rotating manifold, locking into place with a click for reassurance that circuit remains sealed
- Clinicians can perform suctioning and other procedures such as bronchoalveolar lavage, bronchoscopy, or MDI drug delivery, while maintaining a closed vent circuit as recommended to help prevent VAP
- Catheter that locks into separate port, staying connected and clean
- Turbulent cleansing chamber, for a cleaner catheter
- Single-use seal cassette maintains PEEP during insertion of sampling catheter or other devices
- Sleeve tether prevents over-retraction of catheter
Also available: BALLARD* Mini-BAL Sampling Catheter
Designed for use with the BALLARD* Multi-Access Port System, insert the BALLARD* Mini-BAL Sampling Catheter through the alternate therapy port to obtain a lower respiratory tract sample without opening the ventilator circuit.
