Ballard™ Closed Suction System

Ballard^™ Closed Suction System from AirLife^®– Safer Ventilation Care
Protect both patients and healthcare professionals while optimizing respiratory treatment. This closed suction system can come with Turbo Clean technology that is designed to reduce infection risks and maintain stable ventilation throughout the suctioning procedure.

Effective Infection Prevention
A closed suction system helps prevent hospital-acquired infections, including ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). By avoiding disconnection of the ventilator circuit, the risk of cross-contamination is significantly reduced—one of the leading causes of VAP.

• Protects patients and caregivers from cross-contamination
• Reduces bacterial colonization within the circuit
• Supports evidence-based best practice in intensive care

Maintained Ventilation and Stability
Unlike open systems, the closed system ensures continuous ventilation and oxygen delivery during suctioning.

• Minimal loss of PEEP
• Reduced risk of desaturation
• Lower incidence of hypoxia and bradycardia
• Stable oxygen concentration throughout the procedure

Improved Safety and Workflow Efficiency
The closed suction system is designed for single-operator use, simplifying workflows and minimizing exposure risks.

• Safer working environment for healthcare staff
• Reduced need for additional personnel compared to open suctioning
• Smooth and efficient handling during each procedure

Suitable for All Patient Groups
Available for:

• Neonates
• Pediatric patients
• Adult patients

Unique Turbo Clean Technology
The Ballard^™ Turbo Clean system features an isolated, vacuum-sealed cleaning chamber. The catheter retracts into this chamber, where turbulent cleaning action effectively removes secretions.

• Up to 89% cleaner catheter tip compared to standard systems
• Improved hygiene and reduced contamination risk
• Maintains airway patency without interrupting the ventilation circuit

Ballard™ Turbo Clean delivers an advanced solution that combines:

• Outstanding infection control
• Continuous and stable ventilation
• Safe and efficient clinical use
• Innovative cleaning technology
  A smart choice for modern intensive care—where patient safety and staff protection go hand in hand.
