When clearing a patient’s airway during a critical medical emergency, equipment failure is not an option. The Laerdal Suction tube without tip (LPSU), Each – 770410 provides healthcare professionals and first responders with a high-quality, dependable replacement component for their trusted Laerdal Suction Unit (LSU).

Why Choose This Product?

Portable suction units see rigorous use in the field and the hospital ward, meaning their external components, particularly the tubing, are subject to significant wear and tear over time. Choosing an official Laerdal replacement ensures guaranteed compatibility, a secure seal, and uncompromising vacuum performance. By supplying this tube without a pre-attached tip, Laerdal provides clinicians with the versatility to attach the exact size and style of suction catheter or handle required for the specific patient and scenario. It is a simple, cost-effective way to extend the life of your suction unit while maintaining the highest standards of patient care.

Key Features & Benefits

• Perfect 150 cm Length: Offers ample distance between the suction unit and the patient, allowing for unhindered movement and workspace flexibility during emergency interventions.

• Universal Tip Compatibility: The open-ended design (without tip) seamlessly accommodates a wide variety of standard suction catheters, Yankauers, and aspiration instruments.

• Secure Connection: Designed to push securely onto the patient inlet of the Laerdal Suction Unit, creating an airtight seal that maintains optimal vacuum pressure.

• Durable Construction: Made from medical-grade, kink-resistant tubing that maintains its shape and flow capacity even when maneuvered around tight spaces or hospital beds.

• Emergency Preparedness: An essential, lightweight spare part that takes up minimal space in a jump bag or crash cart, preventing equipment downtime.

Ideal Use Cases

• Ambulances, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and paramedic response vehicles utilizing the Laerdal Suction Unit.

• Hospital Emergency Departments (ED), Intensive Care Units (ICU), and post-operative recovery wards.

• Outpatient clinics, dental offices, and surgical centers requiring reliable airway aspiration.

• Stocking emergency response kits in schools, corporate facilities, or mobile medical clinics.

Directions for Use

1. Visually inspect the new tubing to ensure it is free from defects, severe kinks, or blockages.

2. Locate the patient inlet port on your Laerdal Suction Unit’s canister.

3. Firmly push one end of the 150 cm suction tube onto the patient inlet until it sits securely.

4. Attach your preferred sterile suction instrument (e.g., Yankauer handle or flexible suction catheter) to the open, tip-less end of the tubing.

5. Turn on the suction unit, set the desired vacuum pressure, and test the line by briefly occluding the tip before proceeding with patient care.

Important Safety & Storage Information

• Storage: Store replacement tubing in a clean, dry environment at room temperature. Keep away from direct sunlight, sharp objects, and heavy equipment that could crush or deform the tube.

• Maintenance: Regularly inspect the tubing currently attached to your suction unit. Replace the tubing immediately if it becomes stiff, cracked, visibly soiled, or if it fails to maintain a secure connection to the inlet port.

• Infection Control: Follow your facility’s strict protocols regarding the cleaning, disinfection, or disposal of suction tubing to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of pathogens.
