ASSKEA PROCUFF M Subglottic Suction Device with Battery and Mains Operation
The ASSKEA PROCUFF M is a compact specialised suction device designed for controlled subglottic secretion management. It provides intermittent suction for use with suitable subglottic suction systems, helping remove secretions from the area above the cuff of an artificial airway.
The device is designed as a modern alternative to manual syringe suction or uncontrolled continuous suction methods. It allows controlled low suction pressures, adjustable suction and pause times, and pressure equalisation after suction phases. This supports gentle secretion removal while helping reduce the risk of irritation to the tracheal mucosa.
With mains and battery operation, a lightweight 1.2 kg design and a 250 ml disposable container system, the ASSKEA PROCUFF M is especially suitable for homecare, mobile care and patient transport where clinically appropriate.

Subglottic Secretion Management
The ASSKEA PROCUFF M is designed for patients who require controlled subglottic secretion suction. Its intermittent suction function helps avoid continuous high suction exposure, while selectable suction and pause times allow the suction cycle to be adjusted according to secretion viscosity, patient condition and clinical protocol.
Controlled removal of subglottic secretions may form part of airway care and ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention protocols, depending on the clinical setting, airway device and patient care plan.

Important Safety Note
Subglottic suction should only be carried out by trained personnel, competent carers or users acting under appropriate clinical instruction. Suction pressure, suction time and pause time should be selected according to the patient’s condition, airway device, secretion viscosity and local clinical protocol.
Excessive suction pressure or incorrect use may increase the risk of mucosal irritation or injury.

Q: Saves time
A: This reason might be the most obvious, but it’s a clear benefit of an FAQ page. Not only does the FAQ page save customers time, but it also saves employees time as well. Having an FAQ page ensures customers don’t have to sit on the phone for hours waiting for simple answers, and employees don’t have to individually answer all questions.
Q: Earns trust
A: Information is available at the click of a button, but as we all know, information is not always true. Because of this, customers are more skeptical than ever before. They hunt for products by sifting through reviews, looking at the product on multiple websites, and doing price checking across the internet.
Q: Provides new insights
A: It’s difficult to get into the head of a shopper. Some buy on impulse, and others buy after thorough research. By tracking the clicks on your FAQ page, you can gather insights about your product or service that you didn’t know before. You can then inform your product team of these insights. From there, the product team can make changes to improve the product or experience.
Q: Drives internal page views
A: If you want your FAQ to be extremely thorough, which it should be, you can link to resources within your FAQ for your customers to find out more information. Whether you link to a blog that goes into more detail or a product page, this content helps the shoppers get the full story before making a purchase.
A: Prevents negative reviews
A: When looking through negative reviews, there’s almost always one thing in common: the problem could’ve been avoided.
