Recently, one of the most important medical equipment that should be used in any departments of a hospital is suction.
Suction may be used to:
Suctions are of two types:
The main parts of portable suction are:
Motor: Moving vacuum pump which is connected to it. (the oily type has high motor power)
Vacuum Gauge: Showing vacuum power based on two units of measuring the bar and mmHg pressure.
Maximum pressure that could be generated is 1000 mmHg.
Vacuum Regulator: Adjusting the amount of vacuum which is created. (implemented on the body of suction)
Vacuum Pump: creating vacuum inside the pump itself. (this is the most important part of the suction)
It has three models:
Connective Tubes: The tubes are connected to two main openings of the pump, one for suction (vacuum) and the other for blow (air) and they are divided into other sub-branches.
Usually, the suction head is connected to disposable sterile tubes.
In operation rooms, based on a surgical place and the surgeon’s option, different suction tips could be used.
Suction Jar: It has different capacities and two openings, one for connection to a vacuum pump and the other for connection to the suction hose.
For preventing the liquid from entering into the connecting tubes and the pump. it has a control ball(valve) that works as the liquid inside the glass goes up.
