General-purpose surgical suction system, vacuum (An assembly of vacuum-powered devices, which includes a surgically invasive component, designed to aspirate unwanted materials (e.g., debris, tissues, fluids) from body cavities/wounds during a surgical procedure (e.g., general surgery, laparoscopy); it may in addition have non-surgical applications. It is connected via dedicated tubing to the terminal unit (wall outlet) of a vacuum pipeline system and relies on the healthcare facility’s central vacuum system. It includes a vacuum suction regulator which controls negative pressure for the aspiration, collection containers, and patient contact devices (e.g., handpiece/tip); it typically also includes tubing and microbial/hydrophobic filters.)
