Description
Busse Mucus Specimen Traps collect suctioned specimens inline during suctioning, in 40cc and 80cc capacities with or without a transport cap. The capped versions seal the specimen for transport to the lab, and the uncapped versions suit workflows that cap or transfer at the bench.
- Two Capacities – 40cc traps for standard specimens and 80cc traps where more volume is collected.
- Transport Cap Choice – Items 405 and 408 include the cap that seals the trap for transport.
- Inline Collection – The trap sits in the suction line and catches the specimen during routine suctioning.
- Sterile Supply – Every configuration is sterile, packed 24, 50 or 100 per case by size and cap choice.
Inline Specimen Collection During Suctioning
When a suctioned specimen is ordered, the trap is what turns routine suctioning into a collection, catching the sample inline instead of in the canister. This range offers the two working capacities, 40cc for standard respiratory specimens and 80cc where the collection runs larger. The transport cap versions seal the trap at the bedside, so the specimen travels to the lab in the trap it was collected in.
Uncapped versions serve labs and units whose workflow caps or transfers the specimen at the bench. All four configurations are sterile and carry their own item numbers, with the 80cc uncapped trap packed in dispenser format at 100 per case.

Why Choose These Specimen Traps?
Specimen collection fails when the trap size or the cap is wrong for the lab’s workflow. This page holds the full matrix, two sizes by two cap choices, so the trap a unit standardizes on is a reorder line rather than a compromise.
- Full Size and Cap Matrix – Every combination of capacity and transport cap is listed and priced.
- Bedside Sealing Option – Capped traps close the specimen at collection, which is how labs prefer to receive it.
- Maker Specification – Capacities and pack counts follow the manufacturer’s own catalog table.
- Dispenser Format Available – The 80cc uncapped trap runs in dispenser boxes for point of use storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are offered?
Traps come in 40cc and 80cc. Each size is offered with a transport cap and without one, for four configurations in total.
What does the transport cap do?
It seals the trap after collection so the specimen travels to the lab in the trap. Units whose labs cap at the bench use the uncapped versions instead.
Are the traps sterile?
Yes. All four configurations are sterile and intended for single use.
How are they packed?
The 40cc traps run 24 per case, the 80cc capped trap 50 per case, and the 80cc uncapped trap 100 per case in dispenser boxes. Cases ship in the manufacturer’s pack format.
Where are they used?
They are used wherever suctioned specimens are collected, including respiratory, ICU and emergency settings. The trap connects inline with standard suction setups.
