Surgical Suction Aspiret – 15L/min

Lightweight Suction for Tracheotomy and Home Post-Operative Care

The New Aspiret (VM-SSASP) is designed for aspirating mucus and catarrh in tracheotomised patients, for minor surgical applications, and for post-operative home care. It delivers 15 L/min at a maximum vacuum of -0.75 BAR, adjustable via a front-panel aspiration regulator. Its duty cycle is non-continuous, running 20 minutes ON and 40 minutes OFF, managed by an electronic system that protects the motor from overheating. At 2.2 kg and 255 × 190 × 165mm, it is easily portable between patient rooms and home settings.

CE-Certified with a Complete Ready-to-Use Accessory Set

The Aspiret operates on 230V/50Hz at 184VA, fused at 1-1.6A 250V, and is manufactured from highly heat-resistant, electrically insulated plastic conforming to European safety standards. It is CE certified and supplied with a 1-litre polycarbonate autoclavable jar (max 120°C) fitted with an overflow valve and safety float, a 6-10mm silicone tube set, tube connectors, an aspiration probe CH20 and an antibacterial filter, giving a ready-to-use accessory set.

Ideal for Home Care and Post-Operative Therapy

The Aspiret suits patients requiring suction after hospital discharge, including tracheotomy home care, as well as nurses and physiotherapists performing ward-based suction therapy. Its compact dimensions and light weight allow single-handed transport, while the adjustable vacuum regulator lets suction pressure be tailored to patient comfort. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the Aspiret is supplied to clinics, home care providers and private practices.
