Since 1990, we have supplied vacuum pumps and numerous varieties of water pumps in Perth and across Australia. Here are some medical uses you may or may not know about.
Air Mattresses
Medical grade air mattresses have individual coils to adapt to patients, helping to protect them from bedsores.
Aspirators
Aspirators are modified diaphragm pumps used to remove debris, fluids or tissue from injury sites. These are most commonly used for surgery.
Autoclaves
Autoclaves are used for sterilisation with vacuum pumps used to evacuate the chambers.
Blood Analysers
Blood analysers provide real-time readings when time is of the essence. They can measure glucose, white blood cell count and medication levels. Compressed air is used for many of the processes.
Compression Therapy
Compressed air is used to fill compression chambers.
Dental Carts
The cart that sits between the dentist and the patient needs vacuum and compressed air for its various functions.
Dialysis Machines
These replace the kidneys and filter all of a patient’s blood during one sitting. A peristaltic pump is used to move the blood.
Nebulisers
A nebuliser uses an air compressor to turn medications into a fine, breathable mist.
Nitrogen Generators
These convert compressed air into dry nitrogen to supply medical instruments.
Oxygen Concentrators
These use compressed air and convert an ambient oxygen count of 21% to one approaching 99.5%.
Respirators
These are worn by doctors, nurses and other personnel, especially in operating rooms. They protect both the medical personnel and the patients.
Wound Aerators
These provide controlled pressure to wounds and help speed healing by increasing the amount of oxygen to the wound site.
