Manual Suction Pump Medsource International

The idea of a manual suction pump is good but the execution is poor. The suction pump has 2 settings; adults and kids. It also comes with 2 tubes; one with wider opening than the other. The kid setting limits how far the handle on the suction pump can be pressed back so it creates much less (almost none) suction power.

As for its function, if an entire seal at the tip of the tube is created when suctioning, then you may see some suction created, otherwise it does not do much of anything at all. And in order to create any measurable suction at all, you would have to keep pumping fast (pressing and releasing the movable arm of the suction pump unit) to sustain the suction, which is not easy, especially if the operator is an elderly individual. I recommend not wasting your money on this product and getting an electric powered one where the suction is real, more powerful, and is generated a lot faster without suffering from operator fatigue.

I purchased this item to remove excess mucus from my throat, the result of surgery from throat cancer. It would pick up a little bit but never met my expectations as a thorough device. Perhaps the EMT's toward whom this is marketed have better success.

I really like it for a hand suction pump. It worked well. If you need something

portable it will do the job.

I ordered two of these devices for our medical unit, and both of them could not generate noticeable suction. Once device seemed to generate a tiny amount of suction (but nowhere near enough to pull liquid or solids out of a patient, up the tube and into the holding cup) but the other one seemed to be unable to generate any suction.

It's a great idea for portable, manually powered suction that can be carried in an ALS jump kit or airway bag, but this device will not meet your needs. Avoid.

Its hard to hold it at the right angle doing it yourself. I would like a battery operated one this size.
