If a patient does not have a clear airway but instead has secretions, blood or vomit in them, a critical situation arises. It is then important to be able to quickly remove what is in the way in order to improve breathing. This is most easily done with the help of a suction pump.
In our range you will find a suction pump from Laerdal that is of very high quality. It is available in two different versions, a suction pump that is reusable and a suction pump that is for single use. With a powerful and reliable suction pump that is always ready to be used in emergency situations, many lives can be saved.
Laerdal's suction pump is manufactured to the highest quality. As with many other products, Laerdal is one of the leaders in the development and manufacture of suction pumps. It is not for nothing that many healthcare providers around the world use suction pumps from Laerdal.
With a suction pump, patient safety is increased and more lives can be saved. Laerdal suction pumps have a function that uses a color-coded suction indicator to indicate whether they can be used for children or not. This is because a lower vacuum level must be used on children and infants.
The suction pump is portable, making it easy to use in emergency situations. It is often included as part of the equipment in ambulances and is specifically designed for this prehospital purpose.
In our range you will find the LSU Serres with a suction bag system and the LSU Reusable with a reusable container. Both are powerful and efficient and can reach a vacuum of over 500 + mmHG in extreme situations. In addition, they can maintain a flow rate of over 25 LMP. They also have a splash-proof design and construction that is easy to clean after use.
If you have an LSU Serres, the suction bag must be discarded between each use. If you have an LSU Reusable, the container must be emptied, cleaned and decontaminated after each use.
When connected to power, the LSU charges to 80% in three hours and must be charged between each use. The battery can be used for approximately 45 minutes. If you need to replace the battery in your suction pump, we have new ones in our range. They are very easy to replace on your machine.
In our range you will find all the accessories and spare parts you may need for your LSU suction pump. We have, among other things, reusable containers and renovation kits. Wall brackets, carrying cases and external battery chargers are available. In addition, we of course also have the disposable suction bags needed for your LSU Serres. These can be purchased both as an individual suction bag or in a 36-pack.
According to the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare's medical disaster preparedness: https://www.socialstyrelsen.se/globalassets/sharepoint-dokument/artikelkatalog/ovrigt/2001-102-3.pdf , a suction pump is an important aid that should be on hand in healthcare. Without this life-saving machine that sucks up what is stuck in the airways, many lives could be lost.
With LSU Reusable you get a one-time cost for the machine as it is constantly cleaned after use. With LSU Serres there are recurring costs as new suction bags must be purchased. However, it is faster to clean. If you need help with your choice, you can contact us.
