What is the Portable Suction Pump DSU 7?

The dual power DSU 7 is a compact portable suction machine intended as respiratory therapy and wound management at home, in healthcare facilities or nursing homes. It is designed for nasal, oral and bronchial aspiration and provides powerful, hygienic and effective airway clearance on demand.

For mobile or home care teams, it's important to have hospital-quality equipment on hand at all times in case of emergency. The great advantage compared to the Portable Suction Pump from DSU 7 is the fact that you can switch between AC power and battery power. You have the option to plug the machine in the mains socket while the rechargeable battery lasts for 30 min of continuous use. The high suction performance of 30L per min and maximum pressure of -85kPa, ensures the patient is treated effectively.

The variable vacuum regulator lets you adjust the vacuum levels - depending on the required pressure - for each procedure. The Clinical DSU7 Portable Suction Pump is just that, providing mobile suction for patients in need of airway suctioning and wound management wherever they are. This versatile and easy to use suction machine provides peace of mind and freedom for medical professionals outside the hospital as well as carers at home.

How does the Portable Suction Unit work?

The Suction Machine DS7 creates a negative pressure – known as a vacuum - that draws secretions and fluids through a tube connected to a collection cannister.

These fluids are ‘trapped’ in the disposable collection bottle for disposal.
