ABSTRACT:
A suction catheter having a distal end portion with an opening for insertion into a patient's airway. A proximal end portion is connected to a resilient unobstructed tubular member on which a valve operates to control fluid flow through the member. The valve which is biased to a normally closed condition will open the tubular member when activated and will return to its normally closed condition when not activated. A downstream connector is attached to a source of suction.
