ASSKEA PROCUFF S Subglottic Suction Device with Mains and Battery Operation
The ASSKEA PROCUFF S is a specialised suction device designed for subglottic secretion management. It provides controlled intermittent suction for use with suitable subglottic suction systems, helping remove secretions from above the cuff area of an artificial airway.
The device is designed as a modern alternative to manual syringe suction or uncontrolled continuous suction methods. By allowing controlled low suction pressures, adjustable suction and pause times, and pressure equalisation after suction phases, the PROCUFF S supports gentle and effective secretion removal while helping reduce the risk of irritation to the tracheal mucosa.
With both mains and battery operation, a 1000 ml disposable container system and quiet operation at approximately 35 dB, the ASSKEA PROCUFF S is suitable for stationary use, private care environments, mobile use and patient transport.

Subglottic Secretion Management
The ASSKEA PROCUFF S is designed for situations where controlled subglottic suction is required. Its intermittent suction function helps avoid continuous high suction exposure, while selectable suction and pause times allow the user to tailor the suction cycle to the patient’s secretion 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 and patient care plan.
Important Safety Note
Subglottic suction should only be performed by trained personnel or 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.
