From the leader in closed suctioning, our Closed Suction Systems with BALLARD* Technology offers advanced infection control features that have redefined the standard of closed suctioning care for over 25 years.

These unique infection prevention features have been proven to reduce cross-contamination, reducing ICU days and associated costs.1

Helping You Protect Your Patients from VAE.

BALLARD* TURBO-CLEANING CLOSED SUCTION SYSTEM

Turbo-Cleaning – How it Works

BALLARD* Turbo-Cleaning Closed Suction System, which features technology from BALLARD* trach care, is the only catheter that retracts within a unique, isolated and vacuum-sealed turbulent cleaning chamber. The turbulent cleansing action results in an 89% cleaner catheter tip compared to a standard closed suction system.1 This reduced colonisation may help reduce risk of VAE and VAP in your ventilated patients.
