Low-cost single foot operated mechanical suction machine for rural health centers and hospitals

The Foot-Operated Suction Unit is particularly well suited for usage in distant places without power supply, rural health facilities, home care, field emergencies, and brief power outages due to its compact size, low weight, and simplicity of operation. Hospitals of all levels typically employ foot-operated suction units to execute abortions and to draw blood, pus, sputum, and other mucus during surgical operations.

Abstract

The Foot-Operated Suction Unit is particularly well suited for usage in distant places without power supply, rural health facilities, home care, field emergencies, and brief power outages due to its compact size, low weight, and simplicity of operation. Hospitals of all levels typically employ foot-operated suction units to execute abortions and to draw blood, pus, sputum, and other mucus during surgical operations.
