The present invention is directed to a reliable, contamination free, distal end adapter for a suction catheter. The adapter allows the patient to breathe directly therethrough when it is connected to the patient's endotracheal tube for use, and provides an enclosure for preventing exposure of medical personnel to contaminants when withdrawing the catheter from the patient and disconnecting the catheter adapter from the endotracheal tube for disposal.
