## Airway Management

A smooth swivel between airway and suction catheter. The adapter sits between an artificial airway and a closed suction catheter, giving the catheter a free-rotating connection point. That swivel motion reduces tug and strain on the airway during suctioning.

## System Compatibility

Designed for HALYARD* closed suction systems. Built as an integral component of select HALYARD* Closed Suction Systems, the adapter uses a standard 15 mm connection for reliable, versatile airway management in clinical settings.

## How the swivel adapter fits your setup

1. **Connect** — Attach the standard 15 mm end to the artificial airway or tracheostomy tube.
2. **Swivel** — The dual-axis interface rotates freely, reducing strain at the connection point.
3. **Suction** — The closed suction catheter passes through for airway clearance without breaking the circuit.

## Two ways to order the adapter

The Packaging option changes how many adapters you get, nothing else. It is the same sterile swivel adapter in each, so pick the quantity that matches how you stock.

- **1 Each** — A single sterile swivel adapter, for one setup or to keep a spare on hand.
- **Case of 50** — Fifty of the same adapter in one case. A case of 50 is simply fifty of that same sterile adapter, sized for respiratory units and higher-volume airway care.

## Common questions

### What is a trach care swivel adapter used for?
It provides a swivel interface between an artificial airway and a closed suction catheter, allowing the catheter to rotate freely during suctioning. This helps manage the airway while reducing strain at the connection point.

### Is the swivel adapter compatible with HALYARD closed suction systems?
Yes. The adapter is designed as an integral component of select HALYARD* Closed Suction Systems, supporting system integration and performance with a standard connection.

### What size connection does the swivel adapter use?
The adapter uses a standard 15 mm inner diameter connection with a 22 mm outer diameter, offering versatility in attachment to compatible airway components.

### Is the Trach Care swivel adapter sterile?
Yes. It is offered as a sterile option, supporting hygiene and safety in medical environments where airway management is performed.

### How is the swivel adapter sold?
It is offered two ways: as a single adapter (1 Each) or as a case of 50. The adapter itself is the same in both, so a case of 50 is simply fifty of that same sterile swivel adapter. Order a single unit to keep one on hand or a case for regular use; availability of each option can vary.

### How does a swivel interface improve patient comfort?
Because the connection rotates rather than staying fixed, the swivel reduces tug and strain on the airway as the suction catheter and tubing move. That smoother movement supports patient comfort and ease of use.

### Who uses closed suction swivel adapters?
They are used by respiratory therapists and clinical staff in settings such as intensive care, as well as in home ventilator care, wherever closed suction airway management is needed.
