Adjustable Suction Range

The Vacuum Regulator provides a wide suction range for clinical flexibility:

• Minimum suction level: approximately low vacuum

• Maximum suction level: high vacuum capacity

These adjustable values make it effective for general surgical use as well as delicate pediatric operations.

Specific features include:

• Minimum suction: -250 mbar

• Maximum suction: -1000 mbar

This range supports both sensitive and high-volume procedures with equal precision.
