Abstract: A medical suctioning system includes a device for insertion into an intubated patient's bronchi, the device including a controller end having actuating components that include a control mechanism coupled to a plurality of cables at the controller end, the controller end having a suction control button engaged with a plunger to allow for activation and deactivation of suction through the controller end; a control lever in communication with an articulating lever housed within the controller end, the articulating lever to engage with one or more cables disposed through the controller end and to engage with an articulating tip portion at a distal end opposite the controller end; and a catheter extending away from the controller end to the distal end.

Abstract: A bi-lateral endobronchial suctioning device includes actuating and articulating components that allow a provider to accurately suction both right and left bronchi as well as the trachea in a controlled and safe manner. A control mechanism is used to manipulate the actuating components in tubes forming a suction catheter to flex the tip of the bi-lateral endobronchial suctioning device to the left and to the right when the device is inserted through an endotracheal tube or other similar device, to enable directional control of a catheter for suctioning the lungs or trachea. The device further includes a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) port allowing sterile saline or other liquids or fluids to travel down the catheter lumen to assist with breaking up thick secretions which collect in the airways.
