The SAM 35 aspirator is a top quality surgical suction unit providing high flow, high vacuum performance. The unit is designed primarily for major operating theatre use and can also be used in lipo-suction procedures. Its reputation for reliability and ease of operation has established it among the most widely used units in the medical world today.
At the heart of the unit is our new MG50 oil free diaphragm vacuum pump that requires minimal maintenance and helps prevent cross contamination. The MG50 also benefits from an enclosed crankcase for quiet operation, IP44 totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) permanent capacitor motor with long life sealed bearings and thermal protection.
As standard, the SAM 35 incorporates two autoclaveable SAM 2 collection vessels fitted with float valve systems, providing automatic shut-off to avoid over-flow. As an alternative, the unit can be fitted with 2 x 4-litre SAM 4 autoclaveable jars instead if higher fluid capacity is required. Other safety features include an internal hydrophobic filter to minimise the risk of contamination as well as providing a further level of protection to the pump.
The SAM 35 can also be fitted with a choice of disposable collection systems including Serres, Abbott, VacSax and Pennine. Other disposable collection systems can also be offered on request.
The unit has a disposable bacterial filter mounted externally on top to provide a barrier for the patient and this can also be upgraded to our external hydrophobic filter if further protection is required.
