Auxiliary Equipment
Aspirators (Suction Machine)
A medical device that uses negative pressure to remove fluids, secretions, and tissue debris from the body or a procedural field.
Core Function Highlights
- Airway Secretion Removal and Emergency SupportIn anesthesia and intensive care, suction removes blood, vomitus, or mucus from the oropharynx or lower airway to help maintain airway patency. It may also be used in emergencies involving aspirated material.
- Intraoperative Suction and Procedural AssistanceDuring surgery, the device removes blood, irrigation fluid, and electrosurgical smoke to keep the field visible. Some dedicated models can support fine work in deeper areas.
- Fluid Drainage and Therapy SupportApplications described in the source include thoracic or abdominal drainage, gastrointestinal decompression, negative-pressure wound therapy, and selected specialty procedures.
