TheVario 18 is lightweight, but robust, portable and designed for small surgical interventions and for airway suctioning.

  • High vacuum up to -75 kPa / - 563 mmHG
  • Flow of 18l / min
  • Weight of only: 3.5 kg / 4.2 kg (for battery version)

Vario 18 c/i

  • Medium vacuum, –55 kPa/–413 mmHg
  • Flow of 18 l/min
  • Weight: 4.2 kg

Intermittent suction can provide a more delicate drainage, whereas the constant suction mode is used for smaller interventions or airway suctioning. (Check for local availability for the c/i version.)


Membrane vacuum regulator

The membrane vacuum regulator of the Vario 18 and Vario 18 c/i allows precise vacuum settings.

The regulator must be pressed down to change the vacuum, which prevents inadvertent setting changes

AC/DC version
The AC/DC version features a built-in battery charger that allows for 30 minutes of cordless and mobile. Acoustic and visible alarms notify the user when the battery needs recharging.

All accessories are designed to complement the device and prevent false connections.
