The Portex® Suction Pro 72 is a closed tracheal suction system designed to safely remove pulmonary secretions from intubated or tracheostomized patients while maintaining ventilation and oxygenation. Engineered for up to 72 hours of use, it helps reduce circuit disconnections, supporting infection control and patient stability in critical care environments.
Available in 12Fr, 14Fr and 16Fr, the system integrates a protected suction catheter within a sealed sleeve, allowing clinicians to perform suctioning without breaking the ventilator circuit. This design supports consistent airway hygiene while minimizing lung derecruitment and caregiver exposure.
Portex® Suction Pro 72 is widely used in ICUs, emergency departments, operating rooms, and long-term ventilation settings, where continuous airway management is essential. Shah Trading Corporation, Mumbai supplies genuine Portex® Suction Pro 72 systems in all sizes to hospitals and critical care units across India.

Product Usage:
Portex® Suction Pro 72 is used to clear airway secretions in ventilated patients without disconnecting the ventilator. The clinician advances the enclosed catheter through the airway, applies suction to remove secretions, and retracts it back into the protective sleeve—helping maintain oxygenation and reduce infection risk.
Why is a closed suction system preferred over open suction in ICU patients?
Closed suction allows secretion removal without ventilator disconnection, helping maintain oxygenation and lung volumes.
How does Suction Pro 72 help with infection control?
The sealed catheter sleeve minimizes environmental exposure and reduces cross-contamination risk.
