The SSCOR SALAD Catheter has a larger inside diameter than a standard Yankauer suction tip to facilitate the removal of fluids as well as solid material. The larger suction lumen makes it significantly less likely to clog in an emergency situation.
The hyper curved catheter is shaped more like a patient's airway making it easy to position the catheter and work with other complementary devices used to clear a patient’s airway.
Instrumental in the SALAD Technique (Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination).
