Silicone Suction Reservoir Bottom Outlet for Plastic & Neurosurgery – 100ml & 200ml Sizes

Key Features and Advantages:

1. High-Quality Silicone Material:
   The silicone construction of this suction reservoir ensures a high degree of flexibility and durability, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of surgical procedures. Silicone is known for its biocompatibility, which means it is safe for use in close contact with tissues and bodily fluids. Unlike other materials, silicone does not degrade or react with surgical fluids, ensuring consistent performance over extended periods.

2. Efficient Fluid Management:
   The bottom outlet design is engineered to facilitate smooth drainage, ensuring that fluids are efficiently collected and removed from the surgical area. This design prevents any potential fluid backflow or clogging, which is crucial during surgeries where maintaining a clear surgical field is vital.

3. Sizes: 100ml & 200ml for Versatility:
   The silicone suction reservoir is available in two sizes, 100ml and 200ml, to cater to different surgical needs. The 100ml version is ideal for smaller procedures or those that require minimal fluid collection, while the 200ml option is perfect for high-volume surgeries or when larger amounts of fluid need to be managed.

4. Durable and Reusable:
   Unlike single-use plastic reservoirs, this silicone suction reservoir is durable and can be sterilized and reused multiple times, providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative for hospitals and medical facilities.

5. Anti-Clogging Design:
   The bottom outlet design is engineered to minimize the risk of blockages, ensuring uninterrupted fluid flow during procedures. This is particularly important in surgeries that require continuous suction for fluid removal.

6. Safe and Non-Toxic:
   Made from medical-grade silicone, the suction reservoir is free from toxic chemicals, latex, and harmful additives, reducing the risk of allergic reactions for both patients and medical staff.

Applications:

The Silicone Suction Reservoir Bottom Outlet is used across various surgical disciplines, providing a reliable solution for fluid management. Its design is especially suited for the following applications:

• Plastic Surgery: Plastic surgeons rely on efficient fluid removal to maintain a clean, dry surgical site, especially during procedures like breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and facelifts.
• Neurosurgery: In neurosurgery, controlling blood and cerebrospinal fluid is critical for both patient safety and surgical precision. This silicone suction reservoir is perfect for draining excess fluids and maintaining an unobstructed view of the surgical field.
• Orthopedic Surgery: During joint replacements, fracture repairs, and other orthopedic procedures, managing fluid levels is essential. The silicone suction reservoir provides a reliable solution for keeping the area clean and dry.
• OB/GYN Surgery: OB/GYN surgeons frequently deal with large volumes of fluids during childbirth, hysterectomies, and other gynecological procedures. The silicone suction reservoir allows for efficient drainage and fluid removal during these surgeries.
• Laparoscopic Surgery: For minimally invasive surgeries, the silicone suction reservoir is an essential tool for fluid control, offering surgeons the ability to remove fluids without obstructing the view of the operating site.

​Material Differences:

The primary material used in this suction reservoir is medical-grade silicone, which offers distinct advantages over alternatives such as rubber or plastic:

Silicone vs. Rubber: Silicone is more durable, flexible, and resistant to temperature extremes than rubber. Additionally, silicone is less likely to degrade over time and is easier to sterilize.

Silicone vs. Plastic: Silicone is more biocompatible and chemically inert compared to plastics, which may react with certain fluids. Silicone also offers superior strength, meaning it is less prone to cracking under pressure.

The Silicone Suction Reservoir Bottom Outlet offers superior performance, safety, and efficiency for a wide range of surgical procedures. Its durable construction, anti-clogging design, and versatility in size make it an indispensable tool for healthcare professionals seeking to provide optimal care in both routine and complex surgeries.

Q1: Is this silicone suction reservoir reusable?

Yes, the silicone suction reservoir is durable and can be sterilized for reuse. It can withstand autoclaving, ETO, and gamma sterilization methods, making it both a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for hospitals and surgical centers.

Q2: How do I clean and sterilize the silicone suction reservoir?

The silicone suction reservoir can be cleaned using standard sterilization methods. Autoclaving is the most common method, though ETO (Ethylene Oxide) or gamma sterilization can also be used depending on the facility’s protocol. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for sterilization to ensure safety and longevity.

Q3: Is the silicone suction reservoir compatible with all types of surgical suction systems?

Yes, this silicone suction reservoir is designed to work with a wide range of surgical suction systems, making it versatile and suitable for use in various surgical settings.

Q4: Can the suction reservoir be used in pediatric surgeries?

Yes, the silicone suction reservoir can be used in pediatric surgeries, provided the appropriate size is selected based on the surgical procedure and fluid volume requirements.

Q5: Does the silicone material cause any allergic reactions?

The silicone used in this suction reservoir is medical-grade, hypoallergenic, and free from latex, ensuring a low risk of allergic reactions for patients and healthcare professionals.
