Start from the real use case
Suctioning bodily fluids (phlegm, blood) is essential to clear patient airways or maintain a clean surgical field. The choice of a surgical suction unit depends on the application: for emergency consultations and routine nursing care, a compact suction pump with a flow rate of 15L/min to 30L/min (such as portable Askir 30 models) is sufficient. For operating rooms and heavy surgeries requiring continuous evacuation of high volumes of fluids, choose a mobile surgical suction unit on a trolley delivering over 40L/min or 60L/min (like the Askir 36BR with battery backup).
Compare the criteria that change total cost
Major technical specifications to evaluate are: maximum suction flow (expressed in L/min), maximum vacuum level (adjustable negative pressure, measured in kPa or bar), capacity and number of collection jars (usually 1 or 2 jars of 2L or 4L), and noise level (below 55 dB to reduce OR stress). A critical point for hygiene is the collection system type: choose between reusable autoclavable polycarbonate jars or single-use disposable liner bags (such as the Flovac system) with integrated hydrophobic/antibacterial and overflow filters.
Plan setup, replenishment, and maintenance
Preventive maintenance includes monthly checks of the hydrophobic protection filter to ensure it is not clogged by moisture, and checking the wear of jar lid gaskets to prevent any loss of suction power. Suction cannulas (Yankauer type), silicone tubing, and connectors must be managed sterilely. MediUnit ensures regular supply of all your suction consumables (silicone tubes, Flovac liners, replacement filters) to keep your devices running.
