Suction Liner and Canister and Components
Suction liner and canister and components are designed to collect bodily fluids, surgical aspirates, and other medical waste in a safe, hygienic manner.suction liner and canister and components These liners serve as the disposable, leak-proof barrier inside of reusable suction canisters to prevent contamination of the canister contents and surrounding equipment. They are used in healthcare facilities to efficiently manage waste, minimize infection risks, and ensure compliance with infection control protocols.
Healthcare facilities use two main types of suction canisters: reusable and disposable. Reusable canisters are made of durable materials like glass or plastic and require regular cleaning and disinfection. Disposable canisters, on the other hand, are disposable and discarded after each use. The choice between reusable or disposable canisters primarily depends on facility policies, volume of use, and considerations of cost and convenience.
A tracheostomy patient requires regular suctioning for symptom management and to prevent mucus build-up in the lungs. The Cleveland Clinic recommends suctioning the tracheostomy twice per day (after the morning right after awakening, and before going to bed). Patients should also be encouraged to suction whenever they hear or feel mucus rattling in their throat or tubing.
During suctioning, the vacuum pressure from the vacuum source applies to the containment space 60, which deflects the liner 42 toward the canister 43. This causes the lip section 36 to engage a corresponding edge 35 of the lid 34 and create a seal. The vacuum port 54, inlet port 52, at least one accessory port 56, and an auxiliary port 58 may each be configured to engage a plug or cap (not shown) to seal the liner contents from ambient air.
The lid 24 has a pair of clips 17 that can engage and snap into place with the ring 20 and liner 16. Once engaged, the clips 17, ring 20, and liner form an enclosed suction canister apparatus capable of collecting fluid(s) by applying a vacuum pressure.
In some embodiments, the vacuum port 54 and inlet port 52 each have an integrated filter and/or shut-off valve to prevent the liner contents from leaving the containment space while allowing filtered air to pass through. A handle on the rim of the lid provides easy gripping and removal of the liner.
Several types of wall mount brackets are available for mounting the canister to the wall. The brackets are designed to hold the canister securely in place with a minimal amount of force. Some wall mount brackets are adjustable to accommodate a variety of canister sizes. When mounting the canister, follow the manufacturer's instructions for a proper installation.
