摘要

Airway adapters and suction catheter systems are described herein. An exemplary airway adapter assembly (100) comprises a connector body portion (111) having a first end (113) and a second end (119). The connector body portion defines an elongate cavity (115) having an axial center between the first and the second end. The airway adapter assembly also comprises a valve (120) coupled to the second end of the connector body. The airway adapter assembly also comprises a ventilation base member (131) comprising a tubular portion (133) coupled to the second end of the connector body portion and a ventilator port (130). The ventilator port comprises a conduit having a first end and a second end, and the first conduit end is coupled to the tubular portion through an articulable connection. An exemplary closed suction catheter system (10) comprises a suction control valve assembly (190) and a closed suction catheter sheath (180).
