Here’s a refined overview of the respiratory suction consumables Rehabtronics supplies or supports, including essential parts to keep suction units hygienic and functional:
🧰 Key Consumables
Suction Tubing
PVC suction tube (Afrimedics, 2 m): Standard medical-grade tubing designed for daily use with suction units PVC Suction Tube (2 m). Ideal for replacement or patient-specific setups.
Suction hose kit (25 mm): A robust, wider-diameter kit suitable for heavy-volume suction applications 25 mm Suction Hose Kit—useful for clinics needing higher capacity.
Canisters & Filter Kits
Universal tubing/filter/canister kit (Drive style): Includes an 800 ml canister, hydrophobic filter, and both long (72″) and short (10″) tubing. Compatible with most portable units like Yuwell, DeVilbiss, and others
Rhythm/SM100 kit: Similar sterile-pack consumable kit with canister, tubing, and filter media
🔍 Why These Matter
Hygiene & Safety: Hydrophobic filters and overflow canisters prevent moisture and contaminants from damaging the device and reduce infection risk.
Functionality: Proper tubing diameter affects suction efficiency—2 m PVC is sufficient for general use, while 25 mm hoses are better for demanding tasks.
Compatibility: Universal kits match a wide range of machines by including adapters; device-specific kits (e.g. SM100) ensure proper fit and performance.
