Wall suction regulator and canister system
A regulator connected to the OR's wall vacuum outlet to control the applied negative pressure, together with one or more collection canisters with an overflow trap and a high-flow antibacterial/antiviral filter between the reservoir and the regulator.
How it is used
Supplies and regulates suction to evacuate blood, fluid, and irrigation from the surgical field, feeding the specialty-specific suction cannulas and tubing already catalogued.
Clinical tip
Manufacturer instructions explicitly warn never to connect the regulator to a positive-pressure source (oxygen or medical air), even briefly, as it can damage the equipment.
