Secretion and Bio�lm Associated OcclusionBio�lm and secretion buildup occurs inendotracheal tubes (ETT) of all sizes, regardlessof the duration of intubation and may decreasethe inner diameter of the tube by 1 to 4 sizes.
This decrease in the internal diameter of the ETT,increases airway resistance, and is known to delay weaning from mechanical ventilation.
Bio�lm and VAPThe universal phenomenon of bio�lm formation during mechanical ventilation is one of the causes of VAP.Bio�lm inside the endotracheal tube acts as a reservoir for bacterial persistence.
VAP, along with other respiratory infections, contributes to very high treatment costs.
The Airway Medix Closed Suction Systemmaintains a clear airway during mechanical ventilation bysimultaneously employing �uid jets, suction and balloon wiping• Reduces work of breathing and maintains breathing efficiency • Decreases bacterial load inside the ETT
