Abstract
An improved trachea suction system includes a suction catheter with a high efficiency suction control valve providing unobstructed fluid flow in its activated suction applied mode for removal of viscous secretions at a low level of applied input suction through the catheter. The valve also non-restrictive to air flow at the distal tip of the catheter. The valve ideally part of a closed tracheal suction system having a catheter isolator seal with a vortex action catheter cleaning chamber located in front of the isolator seal which takes advantage of the high efficiency characteristics of the suction control valve.
