PORTABLE CLINICAL SUCTION DEVICE FOR USE IN HYPERBARIC CHAMBERS

Abstract

A new portable clinical suction device has been developed, which operates from compressed gas. Its performance was evaluated and found to equal that of typical electric rotary aspirators and to far exceed the performance of conventional Venturi devices or foot-powered pumps. It can achieve 27 in./Hg. vacuum, has no moving parts, requires little maintenance and incorporates a suction tip, off-on trigger, vacuum control and vacuum release in an easily handled pistol grip.
