A suction unit with 1 bottle is a medical device used to remove bodily fluids such as mucus, blood, or secretions from a patient’s airway, surgical site, or wound. This device consists of a suction pump connected to a bottle or container where the fluids are collected. The 1-bottle suction unit is commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and emergency settings for various procedures, including airway management, wound care, and surgery.
Key features of a suction unit with 1 bottle include:
- Suction pump: Creates negative pressure to draw fluids into the bottle.
- Collection bottle: A single, sterile container used to safely collect and store fluids, typically made of durable plastic or glass.
- Tubing: Flexible, sterile tubes connect the suction unit to the patient for fluid removal.
- Portable or stationary design: Some units are portable for field use or emergency situations, while others are larger and more stationary for surgical or hospital use.
These suction units are vital for maintaining clear airways in patients, preventing aspiration, and controlling fluids during surgery or medical emergencies.
