A hospital needs various specialized equipment to deal with situations
and conditions that helps to reduce the suffering of the patient comfortably.
Technological innovations in medical science are adding up almost on a daily
basis. One such innovation has been the various specialized suction units that
may be used to clear the airway of blood, saliva, vomit, or other secretions so
that a patient may breathe without any obstruction.

| Manual Vacuum Extractor |
A suction machine is a portable medical apparatus used in wards or
theatre’s which helps in aspirating fluids and vomit from the mouth and
airways. Through a catheter the waste liquid is collected in a bottle. It is
usually an electric unit which contains a vacuum pump, bacterial filter, vacuum
gauge, and trap for moisture, a reservoir for aspirated material, and a suction
catheter or nozzle. The pressure of the suction may be adjusted according to
the need. It can be of high vacuum or low vacuum, or high flow or low flow
rates.
There are various types of suction units for different medicinal
purposes, the basic aim being to help in suction of the unwanted fluid from the
body as the situation demands. Every part of the human body is uniquely
designed and hence different suction units are needed for different parts of
the body. It principally works just like your vacuum cleaner sucking away the
unwanted waste.

Suction can prevent pulmonary aspiration which can lead to lung
infections. In pulmonary toilet, suction is used to remove fluids from the
airways. It helps in facilitating breathing and to prevent the growth of
microorganisms.
Suction machines are also used during surgeries to remove blood from the
area being operated on to allow surgeons to view and work on the area. Even
after a brain surgery or intracranial haemorrhage suction may be used to remove
blood that has been built up within the skull.
Suction devices may be mechanical hand pumps or battery or electrically
operated mechanisms.
Different types of Suction Units
GPC Medical Limited offers the most
advanced suction units based on their 80 years of experience in medical field
and their constant technical innovations which comply with demand of relevant
international standards.

| Electric Suction Unit |
Electrically Operated Suction Units
Electrically powered suction units of GPC Medical Limited stand out
for quality and for precise performance of the various aspiratory
interventions. The basic element of the device is an electrical membrane pump
which creates a vacuum. It is highly efficient, has a long life, makes minimum
sound and requires minimal service or maintenance.
Gas Powered Suction Units
In a gas powered suction unit compressed air powered suction units
generate the vacuums with the compressed gas, usually air. For converting the
compressed into the vacuum, an ejector is used. The ejector is then connected
to the central system of compressed gas directly or with a connector on a
flexible tube, whereas compressed gas from a cylinder can also be used.

| Battery Operated Suction Unit |
Battery Operated Suction units
It works on the same formulae like the electrically operated but with a
battery which is portable and can be taken to areas with electricity
constraints. They have MULTIVAC Battery Operated Suction Unit, Portable Instad AC Suction Unit, Eurovac AC/DC Battery Operated Suction Unit, Instad AC/DC Battery Operated Suction Unit and Universal VAC AC/DC Battery Operated Suction Unit.
The other suction units available with GPC Medical Limited are Foot
operated suction units, HI-VAC Suction Unit, GLO-HI-VAC-LIPO Suction Unit, Eurovac On Trolley Suction Unit, Portable Eurolite Suction Unit, Eurovac-A Suction Unit, Electra VAC Suction Apparatus, Ultra Vac Suction Apparatus, Hi-Vac Plus (90 Ltrs.) Suction Unit, Hi-Vac Plus (60 Ltrs.) Suction Unit, Manual Vacuum Extractor and Suction unit accessories.
