Last Update: January 11, 2013

Laerdal's NeoNatalie Suction device is a silicone therapy product that is used for nasal or oral suction on newborns to clear blockages. The NeoNatalie Suction is a part of the NeoNatalie tool that was developed to train birth attendants in developing countries in neonatal resuscitation. The NeoNatalie Suction can be bought as part of the NeoNatalie complete model, which includes an infant doll, the NeoNatalie Resuscitator, standard accessories, and a training stethoscope to allow simulation of after-birth care. The suction can also be bought separately. The silicone suction is penguin shaped and can be boiled or autoclaved to be cleaned. The head can be tilted aside for cleaning and emptying after use.
