Application

Vacuum pumps for medical suction

In medical suction, vacuum draws off liquids and secretions from the patient – according to Busch hygienically, according to Atlas Copco in a continuous, sterile and adjustable way. According to Becker, the pumps work in central systems and in devices; Elmo Rietschle names central systems for surgical suction and side channel blowers for dental suction units. Below you can see how the application works, what vacuum the manufacturers name and which of their series are intended for it – 201 models from 3 manufacturers.

In short

Medical suction: the key facts

  • Suctioning secretionsBusch names the hygienic suction of liquids and secretions with MINK, R5, SECO and MEDIVAC, Atlas Copco the continuous, sterile and adjustable suction of body fluids.
  • Central and in the deviceBecker names pumps in central medical-surgical vacuum systems and in devices (O, U, U4, VADS, BCV, SV, VASF), Elmo Rietschle central systems for surgical suction.
  • DentalFor dental suction units, Elmo Rietschle names compact G series side channel blowers; Becker names suction in hospitals and dental practices.
  • Further tasksFor medical technology, Becker also names anaesthetic gas scavenging, cosmetics and skin treatment (endermology), smoke extraction and medical waste management, without describing them in more detail.

Operating principle

How it works: Medical suction

The drawing shows the basic principle in section. The systems and pumps of the individual manufacturers differ in detail.

  1. SuctioningAt the suction point, secretion is drawn into the collection container – according to Atlas Copco continuously and adjustably.
  2. SeparatingSecretion containers and filters separate liquid and germs before air enters the line (Busch: hygienic suction).
  3. Holding the vacuumThe pumps in the central plant or in the device (Becker) maintain the vacuum; Elmo Rietschle names central systems for surgical suction.

Vacuum and sizing

Medical suction: how much vacuum is needed

What the manufacturers say about pressure, pumping speed and sizing.

What vacuum

Atlas Copco names an adjustable suction in which the suction power is set at the point of use.

Which pumps

Busch names MINK, R5 and SECO, Becker O, U, U4, VADS, BCV, SV and VASF for central systems and devices, Elmo Rietschle the G series as compact side channel blowers for dental suction units.

Hygiene

Busch names the hygienic suction of liquids and secretions, Atlas Copco the sterile suction of body fluids; secretion containers and filters upstream of the pump are part of it.

Frequently asked questions

Medical suction: frequently asked questions

How does medical suction work?

At the suction point, secretion is drawn into a collection container; filters keep liquid and germs away from the line and the pump, and the pumps in the central plant or in the device maintain the vacuum. Atlas Copco names the continuous, sterile and adjustable suction of body fluids, Busch the hygienic suction of liquids and secretions.

Which vacuum pump for medical suction?

Busch names MINK, R5, SECO and MEDIVAC, Becker O, U, U4, VADS, BCV, SV and VASF for central systems and devices. For dental suction units, Elmo Rietschle names G series side channel blowers.

Which vacuum pump for dental suction?

For dental suction units, Elmo Rietschle names compact G series side channel blowers. Becker names the suction of liquids and secretions for hospitals and dental practices without naming a series.

How much vacuum does surgical suction need?

Atlas Copco names an adjustable suction: the suction power is set at the point of use. We determine the size of the pump station with you on the basis of the number of suction points and their simultaneous use.

How does medical suction stay hygienic?

Through secretion containers and filters upstream of the line and the pump, which retain liquid and germs. Busch names the hygienic suction of liquids and secretions, Atlas Copco the sterile suction of body fluids.

Which pump sits in a medical suction unit?

Becker names its pumps for central systems and for devices (O, U, U4, VADS, BCV, SV, VASF), Elmo Rietschle compact G series side channel blowers for dental suction units. Busch names MINK, R5, SECO and MEDIVAC for medical suction.

What else is vacuum used for in medical technology?

Besides the suction of liquids and secretions, Becker names anaesthetic gas scavenging, cosmetics and skin treatment (endermology), smoke extraction and medical waste management, without describing them in more detail.

What is the difference between surgical suction and suction at the dentist?

For surgical suction, Elmo Rietschle and Becker name central systems with a pump station and pipe network, Atlas Copco the continuous, sterile and adjustable suction of body fluids. For dental suction units, Elmo Rietschle names compact G series side channel blowers, which sit in the unit itself.

A single pump or a central vacuum system?

A central system in a room of its own keeps noise and heat away from production and matches its output to the demand. Central vacuum systems are planned and built by Eugen Theis Vakuum, a company of the Ehrler & Beck group – more under Central Vacuum.

Does Ehrler & Beck also supply spare parts and service?

Yes. Ehrler & Beck offers original spare parts and accessories as well as maintenance and repair.
