The SAM 12 aspirator is a high‑quality, high‑vacuum surgical suction unit engineered for exceptional versatility across both veterinary and human medical environments. Designed for reliability and ease of use, it is widely utilised in general wards, A&E, minor operating theatres, intensive care units, dentistry clinics and as a dependable backup suction system.
As standard, the SAM 12 includes an autoclavable SAM 2 collection vessel with an integrated float valve system that provides automatic overflow protection. For facilities preferring disposable systems, the SAM 12 is compatible with Serres, Abbott, VacSax and Pennine collection systems, with additional options available on request.
At the heart of the unit is the MQ25 oil‑free diaphragm vacuum pump, engineered for minimal maintenance, reduced contamination risk and quiet operation. The enclosed crankcase, TEFC motor, sealed bearings and thermal protection ensure long‑term durability and dependable performance.
Multiple built‑in safety features - including overflow control valves and an internal hydrophobic filter- further enhance protection for both patient and operator. An external bacterial filter is supplied as standard, with a hydrophobic filter available if required.
