Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (either custom or standard) needed for suctioning secretions from the airways. Items in these kits usually include sterile gloves, a suction catheter, and a container for sterile water. These kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Airway suction procedure kits and trays are intended to remove airway secretions by inserting a suction catheter into the upper airways.
