Electricity-Free Suction for Any Setting
The Anand Portable Foot Suction Unit generates vacuum entirely through foot-pedal action, requiring no mains electricity or battery power. An efficient piston pump creates vacuum instantly with each pedal stroke, achieving a maximum suction capacity of 600 mmHg ?10 with an average stroke volume of 200 ml. The top-view manometer uses a 5 cm diameter Bourdon-type dial that remains easily visible to the operator during use. A 0.3-micron bacterial filter with reusable, autoclavable housing sits between the collection jar and pump to prevent cross-contamination.
Designed for Portability and Easy Maintenance
Weighing 2.5 kg and measuring 320?170?300 mm, this unit can be operated by a single person unaided and carried to any location. All components ? including the 1-litre polycarbonate jar (autoclavable to 120?C), silicone tubes, and bacterial filter housing ? are designed for easy dismantling, cleaning, disinfection, and reassembly in the field. The engineered plastic construction is non-corrosive and resistant to common clinical disinfectants.
Versatile Applications Across Healthcare Settings
CE and ISO 9001:2000 certified, the Anand Foot Suction Unit is used wherever powered suction is unavailable or impractical: field hospitals, aircraft and ambulance pre-hospital care, midwifery and obstetrics, mining medical stations, mountaineering and remote expedition medicine, and on-foot paramedic use. It is equally reliable as an emergency backup device during hospital power outages.
