What are Suction Aspirators

Suction machines or aspirators are tracheostomy-care devices used for removing obstructions from a person’s airway. The machine uses suction to pull out mucus, saliva, blood, secretions, or other fluids, clearing the airway for easy breathing. These machines are designed either for stationary use at home or portable for a patient on the move. We have a diverse range of portable and non-portable aspirators, which can be used in hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, ambulances, or home. Our range of aspirators is designed to carry out a wide range of suction procedures. They come from leading manufacturers like Precision Medical, Allied Healthcare, DeVilbiss, Drive Medical, Graham-Field, and Medline.

What Are Suction Machines/Aspirators Used For?

• Suction machines used in the homes are usually for helping people with respiratory problems. When a patient or an elderly cannot clear the lungs and airway of mucus or serum, an aspirator is used to suck out the fluids.
• Tracheostomy care also involves use of suction machines for removal of secretions from the trachea, nasopharynx and oropharynx, thereby maintaining hygiene of the trachea. Suction machines may also be used in cases when someone has a moist cough and cannot clear secretions from the throat effectively.
• Components of a suction machine typically include a suction pump, connection, patient tubings, disposable canister with lid, rechargeable battery, power cord, and bacteria filter.
• The bacteria filter prevents backflow from the canister and airborne contaminants from entering and damaging the pump.
• A yankauer is used to aspirate secretions from either a surgical site or a body orifice. Its tip is slightly crooked to prevent smooth passage into the throat without fragile tissue being damaged.
• Our selection of suction machines or aspirators stands out for their powerful suction force, reliability, and high performance. Portable suction machines are small enough to be fit into a travel bag and can easily be transported anywhere.
• Suction machines today are lightweight, portable, and technologically sophisticated. Even the most clogged airway can be cleared up quickly through robust, powerful machines returning the patient to a state of comfort. Some of these aspirators have adjustable vacuum pressure needed, especially when working with children or the elderly.
