The LSU, a Portable and Rugged Medical Suction Unit
The Laerdal LSU (Laerdal Suction Unit) is an essential reference in portable medical suction devices. Specifically designed for emergencies and demanding hospital settings, this device combines performance, reliability, and ease of use. Its rugged design and innovative technical features make it indispensable for medical teams and emergency services.
The Laerdal LSU is designed for rapid and efficient removal of secretions, blood, and vomit, facilitating ventilation for patients in respiratory distress. With a suction capacity of up to 30 LPM at 500+ mmHg, it meets the highest standards in critical care. Thanks to its five-level adjustment system, users can set the suction power according to the patient’s specific needs:
- 80 mmHg (12 L/min)
- 120 mmHg (16 L/min)
- 200 mmHg (20 L/min)
- 350 mmHg (23 L/min)
- 500+ mmHg (>25 L/min).
Equipped with an innovative "rib cage" design, the LSU effectively protects its canister and internal mechanism from shocks and splashes. Certified IP34D, it is specially designed to withstand the most challenging conditions, whether in an ambulance, outdoors, or in a hospital.
The built-in diagnostic test, a first in the industry, allows users to quickly and easily verify the device's functionality before use. The NiMH 12V / 2Ah battery is not only tool-free replaceable but also rechargeable in just 3 hours to reach 80% capacity, ensuring constant readiness.
The Laerdal LSU is equipped with an LED indicator that displays the selected suction power and battery charge level. Its quiet operation, with noise levels between 46 and 56 dBA, enhances comfort even in sensitive environments such as hospitals.
Its versatile power supply allows operation directly from the mains (100-240V), a DC power source (12-28V), or its internal battery. This flexibility makes it perfectly suited for frequent transport and field interventions.
The Laerdal LSU is a versatile, reliable, and user-friendly medical suction unit, ideal for healthcare professionals working in emergency and patient transport settings. Its rugged design, remarkable suction performance, and flexibility make it an essential choice for hospitals and prehospital care services.
