Collection: Suction Units

Medical suction units clear the airway of fluid, vomit and secretions. We stock portable, mains and manual suction units for GP surgeries, dental practices, clinics, first responders and ambulance teams, together with the liners, bags, catheters and tubing they need. Suction units are intended for use by trained staff.

Types of suction unit

• Manual units: hand or foot powered, with no battery to charge. A useful backup for first aid kits and emergency bags.
• Battery portable units: such as the Laerdal LSU, OB2012, Spencer Jet Compact and Flaem Aspira Go, for use away from a mains socket.
• Mains and desk units: higher capacity units for treatment rooms and minor procedure rooms.

What to keep with your unit

The Resuscitation Council UK equipment lists for primary care and dental practice include portable suction with a Yankauer sucker, available immediately. Keep spare liners or Serres bags, sterile suction catheters in a range of sizes, patient tubing and a charged battery or charger alongside the unit, and check it as part of your routine emergency equipment checks.
