THE HYDROPHOBIC FILTER
WHY HYDROPHOBIC FILTER AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
The FLOVAC® HYDROPHOBIC filter is made of 3 layers having antibacterial, smoke filtration and hydrophobic functions.
The filter stops the suction when wet because the fluid reaches the maximum collection level. In normal suction conditions the filter works with the maximum of efficiency, granting a bacterial protection towards the hospital vacuum plant or other suction sources. It becomes like an impenetrable barrier, when wet, stopping the suction also when foams or surgical smokes have been suctioned, getting in contact with the filter.
HYDROPHOBIC
A special hydrophobic filter stops the suction when the fluid reaches the maximum collection level, assuring in the meantime a complete hospital vacuum plant bacterial protection during the normal suction.
This filter is the best answer to grant hygiene and safety for patients and operators in the medical suction field.
The gelling kit gives further safety to an highly efficient system. It is a special absorbing powder transforming liquids in a semi-solid mass.
This grants higher safety for operators charged to clean, handle and transport potentially infected materials. This process allows to absorb and incorporate all liquids suctioned in the FLOVAC® containers and to prevent dangerous contamination risks for the health staff in case of biological fluids accidental leakage. The correct necessary quantity of gelling powder is supplied in small water-soluble pouches, already inserted into the container bag in LINER version, or supplied in 50 pieces boxes for use in CANISTER version. In this case one single gelling bag needs to be placed into the container before fastening the lid.
The gelling powder is also available in 500 g. bottles with funnel/doser so that to be poured into the FLOVAC® containers by the operators after the use and before disposal.
