Secretion Aspirators

Secretion Aspirators for Aspiring Blood, Saliva and Secretions

They are often used when a patient's respiratory tract is being blocked with pus, mucus or blood and he is not able to cough it out (for any reason).

Suction units are also frequently used in rescue services for securing the airway, since foreign bodies and fluids must be removed before attempting resuscitation.

Otherwise, they would be pressed against the lungs, which could cause severe damage. Therefore, aspirators and aspiration catheters are a part of the DIN 13232 approved emergency equipment.

Secretion Aspirators for Stationary and Mobile Use

Secretion aspirators for patient care are available with various specifications and are, therefore, suited for stationary and mobile use. Mechanical aspirator pumps, such as the MonoVac aspirator pump from Söhngen W. are operated with a pedal, making them non-dependent on electricity.

This allows them to be used outdoors in every weather condition. Electric suction units are mostly equipped with a rechargeable battery. As a result, electric devices like the Kataspir secretion aspirator from Metudek allow for portable use.

Depending on the manufacturer, portable suction units are sometimes available with an automobile cable so that they can be charged while on the road. For stationary use, Praxisdienst recommends the Kataspir Pro with foot pedal, two autoclavable suction containers and extra high suction performance. This device is particularly suited for continuous use by surgeons, gynaecologists or plastic surgeons.

The Vacu-Aide from DeVilbiss is available as a portable unit with rechargeable battery or as a stationary machine with power cable and can be used with both disposable and autoclavable collection jars. For an extra high level of patient safety, you can combine the machine with the DeVilbiss Reuse Set that contains all the consumables needed for successful procedures (e.g. tubes, filters and containers).

Based on the purpose of use and area of application, secretion aspirators for surgery and homecare come with various aspiration strengths, which is measured in litres per minute (l/min or LPM). The vacuum pressure is generally measured in mm Hg.
