Thoracic Suction Regulator
A suction regulator is a critical device used to control the flow of suction in a medical vacuum system. Commonly found in hospitals and healthcare facilities, it adjusts the level of negative pressure in devices like suction catheters and wound drainage systems.
These regulators typically feature a dial or lever, enabling caregivers to fine-tune the suction level based on the specific needs of the patient or procedure. For instance, higher suction might be required to clear heavy mucus from an airway, while lower suction prevents tissue damage during delicate procedures.
By offering precise control, suction regulators ensure both the effectiveness and safety of medical suction treatment. They are essential for delivering responsive care in a wide range of clinical situations.
