OverviewReliable, high-performance surgical suction pumps for hospitals, clinics and ambulatory surgery centres. Dominant Flex and Basic provide portable or mounted vacuum sources for general surgery, endoscopy, wound drainage, vacuum-assisted delivery and airway suctioning. Medela manufactures both units with materials compatible with potent disinfectants.
Features & Benefits- Multiple clinical applications: suitable for OR, endoscopy suites, wards, ICU, outpatient surgery and physician offices.
- Independent vacuum source: avoids contamination and overload of wall vacuum systems and delivers consistent vacuum levels.
- Hygienic design: smooth single-piece hood and CleanTouch on/off button reduce contamination risk and simplify cleaning.
- Safety set: protects the pump in case of overflow.
- Quiet, robust operation: piston-cylinder drive and membrane technology provide fast vacuum build-up with low noise.
Dominant Flex — flexibility and powerSelectable flow settings (60 / 50 / 40 l/min) let clinicians match suction performance and noise level to the procedure. Flow selection affects vacuum build-up time and acoustic profile for sensitive applications.
Basic — Swiss simplicity and reliabilityBasic provides a constant 30 l/min flow for straightforward, dependable suction in routine procedures. Both models are compatible with strong disinfectants and designed for easy maintenance.
