Unique Click-In-Place Canister

In the field, the last thing you want to do is waste time setting up your equipment. Laerdal’s Compact Suction Unit has a canister that can easily be clicked into place – perfect for those non-stop days. The unit doesn’t require a vacuum tube between the canister and the suction pump, making it a clean and efficient solution.

The LCSU 4’s canister is sealed with an internal filter. This filter automatically stops suction/flow when the canister is full or the filter becomes saturated (e.g. if the unit tips onto its side during use). Once wet, the filter forms a gel that prevents the ingress of fluid into the pump.
