Description

The VacSax BactiClear® Antimicrobial Disposable Suction Liner is an innovative solution designed for healthcare environments to safely manage fluid medical waste. This single-use system is engineered to significantly reduce the risk of cross-infection and contamination during suction procedures, making it an essential tool in clinical settings such as hospitals, emergency rooms, and surgical suites.

Antimicrobial Technology

The liner features advanced BactiClear® antimicrobial protection, utilizing silver ions to treat all external surfaces, including the canister and vacuum tubing. This technology provides immediate and long-lasting bacteriological protection, effectively reducing harmful bacteria such as MRSA, E. coli, and Salmonella by up to 99.99%. The antimicrobial effect remains durable throughout the product's active lifetime, offering broad-spectrum protection that does not diminish over time.

Design Features

Available in 1, 2, and 3 litre capacities, the liners are designed for compact storage and self-inflate when vacuum is applied. Key design elements include:

• Integral Carry Handles: For safe and easy removal, even when full.
• Transparent Material: Allows for easy monitoring of waste levels.
• Leak-Proof Closure: Ensures secure containment to prevent leakage.
• Hydrophobic Bacterial Shut-Off Filter: Provides overflow protection, enhancing safety.

The system features only two ports of different dimensions to prevent cross-connection, and can be configured in cascade or tandem setups for higher capacity needs.

Versatility and Compatibility

The liners come in various variants, including standard, wide bore, sample port, pre-gelled, and cascade options. They are compatible with different canisters and hospital brackets, offering flexibility to meet diverse clinical requirements. The design allows for use as a closed system with standard or pre-gelled suction liners, and includes sample port versions for specific needs.

Environmental Considerations

Constructed from materials chosen to minimize environmental impact, the liners maintain high safety and effectiveness standards. They are compliant with ISO 13485 and tested according to ISO 22196:2011 standards, demonstrating significant bacterial reduction capabilities.

Usage and Disposal

Intended solely for single use, the liner should be sealed and disposed of in accordance with local medical waste regulations after use. Its folded design supports easy storage, and the self-inflating feature ensures readiness for immediate application.

Patented Technology

With patented technology under UK and European patent applications, the VacSax BactiClear® Suction Liner represents a reliable and compliant choice for healthcare waste management, aligning with regulatory standards to enhance operational safety and hygiene.
