Suction Machine

A suction machine is a medical device used to remove fluids, such as mucus, blood, or other bodily fluids, from a patient's airway or body. It is commonly employed in hospitals, clinics, and emergency settings to assist in clearing obstructions from the respiratory tract, particularly in patients who are unable to clear secretions on their own. The machine typically consists of a vacuum pump, a collection jar, tubing, and a suction catheter or tip. It creates negative pressure to draw out the fluids, helping to prevent choking, aspiration, or respiratory distress. Suction machines are essential in various medical procedures, such as surgeries, post-operative care, and the management of patients with respiratory illnesses.
