Medical suction units facilitate the breathing problem for the patient by clearing the airway clogged by mucus, phlegm, or other secretions. Most of the time, the patients do not notice the benefit of these medical appliances until they feel weak or they feel that they can't breathe. Medical vacuum regulators allow the patient to breathe easier and more easily. The mechanical systems inside such appliances are very complex. However, most patients are unaware of the importance of using these medical devices in order to relieve them from their breathing problems. They become more aware when their doctor suggests them to undergo a test that involves these devices. A patient who has no idea how these contraptions work could not understand the importance of the medical suction device during this test.
There are numerous applications of medical suction units such as lung expansion, pneumonectomy, dental applications including tooth extraction, and also respiratory applications such as lung volumes. However, the newest applications include applications such as facelift, cheek, and jowl reduction, and facial repositioning. Many of these devices are segmented based. They can be segmented based on different criteria such as face and neck defects, size and shape, height, and weight. This is particularly significant when it comes to face and neck defects. Most operators are required to wear masks that are meant for the operative field. However, patients who suffer from severe facial defects may not be able to wear them.
