The invention relates to a device for removing sputum from a tracheal catheter inserted into the trachea of a patient. The aim of the invention is to supplement existing tracheal catheters in such a way that sputum is automatically kept away from the air filter and is removed without any problems so that excruciating and painful choking attacks in patients can be prevented and the risk of death by asphyxia is eliminated. This is achieved by a housing (4) having a first orifice (1) that can be attached to the end of the tracheal catheter projecting from the trachea; a second orifice (2) for exhaled air-filtered fresh air exchange and a third orifice (3) for sputum outflow.

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'enlever des mucosités se trouvant dans un cathéter inséré dans la trachée d'un patient. L'objectif de l'invention est de compléter un tel cathéter trachéen de telle sorte que les mucosités soient automatiquement maintenues à distance du filtre à air et enlevées sans problème, cela dans le but d'empêcher des cas d'étouffement du patient pénibles et douloureux et d'éliminer le risque de mort par étouffement. Cet objectif est atteint grâce à l'utilisation d'un boîtier (4) comportant: une première ouverture (1) pouvant être reliée à l'extrémité du cathéter trachéen sortant de la trachée; une seconde ouverture (2) permettant l'échange air expiré-air frais filtré; et une troisième ouverture (3) servant à l'écoulement des mucosités.
