Description

The NEW ASKIR 20 Portable Suction Unit is a compact electric suction device designed for the controlled aspiration of mucus, catarrh, and other bodily secretions from the nasal, oral, and endotracheal areas. Its portable desk-type design makes it suitable for home-care environments as well as selected clinical applications where a compact suction system is required.

The unit is designed for use with both adults and children and can support suction requirements associated with tracheostomy care, minor surgical procedures, and post-operative care. Its adjustable vacuum regulator allows the suction level to be controlled according to the intended application, while the integrated vacuum meter provides a clear indication of the applied suction pressure.

The NEW ASKIR 20 uses an oil-free, maintenance-free piston pump and provides high-vacuum/low-flow suction performance. With a maximum adjustable vacuum of -0.75 Bar (-75 kPa / -563 mmHg) and a maximum free-air flow rate of 16 L/min, it offers a practical balance between portability and suction performance.
