Why Medela suction

Mobile suction prevents viral spread – in times of fear of spreading viruses, mobile medical vacuum reduces the risk of cross contamination associated with wall suction.


Why is airway suction critical?

Airway patency saves lives

Airway suctioning is a lifesaving procedure. It decreases the risk of lung  infections, prolonged hypoxia, and  pooling of secretions.1


Who needs airway suction?

  • Intubated patients
  • Self-ventilating patients may require help to expectorate secretions 
  • Patients treated with an artificial  airway require regular suctioning


Where is airway suction performed

Saving lives everywhere

Hospitals (ICUs, ER, OR, wards, crash carts), nursing homes, alternate care facilities.

Central Vacuum System & Mobile Suction pumps

Central Vacuum System advantages:

  • Space saving

To consider:

  • In case of overflow: contamination  of whole system.
  • More users: possibly less suction capacity and instable suction strength.

Mobile Suction pumps advantages:

  • Thanks to dedicated use per patient and virus filters risk of cross-contamination is reduced.2, 3
  • Powerful, reliable vacuum for every patient.

To consider:

  • Footprint
