7B Pedal Suction Apparatus

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MODEL: 7B Pedal Suction Apparatus

Overview

The 7B pedal suction apparatus is a manually operated medical suction device designed for removing fluids such as mucus, blood, or other secretions from a patient’s airway or surgical site. It is particularly useful in settings where electricity is unavailable or unreliable, such as in rural clinics, emergency situations, or field operations.

Design and Components:

• Suction Bottle: A transparent container (usually 2 liters capacity) for collecting aspirated fluids.
• Foot Pedal Mechanism: A lever-operated pedal that generates suction when pressed repeatedly by foot, eliminating the need for electrical power.
• Tubing and Nozzle: Flexible tubing connects the suction tip to the bottle, allowing fluid extraction from the patient.
• Metal or Plastic Frame: Provides stability and holds the suction bottle securely in place.
• One-Way Valve System: Ensures that fluids do not flow back into the patient’s airway.

Operation:

The operator places the suction tip in the patient’s mouth, nose, or surgical site, then pumps the foot pedal to create negative pressure. This draws fluids into the collection bottle. The manual operation allows for controlled suction and is safe for use in various medical scenarios.

Applications:

– Emergency airway clearance

– Post-operative fluid removal

– Use in ambulances or field hospitals

– Rural healthcare facilities without reliable electricity

Advantages:

– Portable and lightweight

– No electricity required

– Easy to clean and maintain

– Cost-effective for low-resource settings
