Anybody have collection containers for trache specimens available?

We need the part number off of one so that we can try to get them from our DME. Lookine for the one with the short suction tubing and the connector that the scution hose plugs into with the small cup. We were given swabs by our lab and dr, which is less than convenient, and the last one we took up, they ran as a strep culture, which obviously came back negative.

I think this is what you are looking for. At least this is what the hospital has used in the past to collect Amayas trach cultures. The package says:

KENDALL ARGYLE 40ml Specimen Trap 724500
Latex-free
a product of Tyco Healthcare group http://www.tycohealthcare.com

Hope this helps!
