A suction catheter is a medical device typically used to remove blood clots from the vascular system. This type of catheter is limited by a slender body and has an internal cavity for receiving blood clots. During the operation, the doctor will insert the catheter into the location of the thrombus and apply negative pressure (suction) to suck the thrombus out of the blood vessel.

According to the different scopes of application, suction catheters can usually be divided into two categories: ordinary suction catheters and special suction catheters. Ordinary suction catheters are usually made of polyethylene or silicone materials, which have good flexibility and durability, and are mainly used for general thrombus clearance; Special suction catheters are used for specific medical needs, such as in cardiac surgery or complex vascular surgery, and typically have special designs and materials to better adapt to surgical needs.
