Kurtis MSD Meconium Suction Device – Neonatal Airway Management

The Kurtis MSD Meconium Suction Device (MSD) was designed by a neonatologist to streamline neonatal resuscitation when every second matters. By combining multiple airway management functions into a single, preassembled device, the MSD reduces setup time and simplifies the critical process of meconium suctioning.

Its wire-reinforced, malleable tracheal tube eliminates the need for a stylet, while the low deadspace adapter allows direct attachment of a resuscitator for positive pressure ventilation if required. Suction tubing can be connected before intubation, ensuring immediate readiness.

Uniquely, the MSD functions both as a suction catheter and artificial airway, enabling rapid intervention by a single provider and providing continuity during transport. This innovative dual functionality improves provider efficiency, patient safety, and neonatal outcomes.
