A portable suction pump is designed to quickly clear fluids such as saliva, mucus, blood, or vomit from the airway. It is commonly used in first aid, emergency care, ambulances, clinics, dental settings, aged care, and home care for patients with swallowing difficulties.
To use the pump, connect the suction tubing securely to the collection jar and attach the correct suction catheter or nozzle. Switch the device on and check the suction strength before use. Gently place the catheter at the corner of the mouth or targeted area never force it deep into the airway. Use short suction bursts to remove fluid while monitoring the patient’s breathing and comfort.
After use, turn the pump off, dispose of single-use components, and clean the reusable parts according to hygiene guidelines. Proper operation helps keep airways clear, reduces aspiration risk, and supports safer breathing when it matters most - https://www.megamedical.com.au/product-category/suction-equipment/medical-portable-suction-units/
