  • Use SuctionShield in OR, ICU/CCU, MedSurg, SICU, PACU, ER, Cath Lab, GI Lab,Neuro Trauma, LTAC, SNF, and Rehab facilities. SuctionShield attaches to any size horizontal rail and safely holds oral suction tips and other suction implements to properly contain oral secretions.

  • NO more stuffing suction tips back in the peel pack. This is a warm and wet environment for infectious agents to continue to grow. The suction tip is encased in pathogens and increases the chance of droplet transmission and cross contamination.

  • How many times does this happen in your hospital unit? CDC estimates that on any given day, 1 in 31 hospital patients has an HAI and costs per incidence are upwards of $25K. Securing suction tips with a SuctionShield can help prevent these incidences.

  • SuctionShield plays a vital role in patient and practitioner safety. For hospital staff, this translates to a safer work environment, reduce sick leave and better morale. SuctionShield does this for a few dollars per use and easily pays for itself when a single HAI is avoided.

  • Wide top opening allows for quick and easy placement of suction tip. Wide opening and front aperture enables air drying of the suction tip. When suctioning is on any and all secretions are sucked into the recepticle, keeping secretions where it belongs. The SuctionShield remains dry .

  • At the bottom of the SuctionShield is a raised grid. This ingenious detail allows the suction tip to sit on the grid, allows for air drying and NOT rest in any accumluated secretions. Again, when suctioning is turned on secretions are sucked away.
