Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston (Product Code: SLE/RAE/02) is a portable, pedal-driven suction pump used for pharyngeal and tracheal aspiration and other minor medical procedures in ambulances, health posts, emergency rooms and anywhere mains power may be unavailable. Each press of the pedal drives a single piston, giving a maximum air flow of 30–40 L/min and a maximum vacuum of -70 kPa. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

A foot suction pump clears mucus, vomit, blood or other fluid from the mouth, pharynx and trachea when a patient cannot clear their own airway, whether during resuscitation, in recovery or out in the field. Because it needs no electricity, it is a practical choice for ambulances and rural health centres, and as a standby unit beside electric suction in theatres and wards.
The operator stands the pump on the floor, places a foot on the pedal and presses it rhythmically; the lever reduces the force needed and the spring returns the pedal after each stroke. With no gauge fitted, the flow depends on the pumping rate, and the transparent container shows how much has been collected. Afterwards the unit comes apart completely for cleaning, and every part can be autoclaved at 121 °C.
ScienceLab – the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana – supplies this foot-operated suction pump to hospitals, ambulance operators, NGOs and emergency programmes. Field projects often order it in quantity alongside resuscitators and airway consumables, and one quotation can cover the whole list. See the company profile for more about ScienceLab.

How much suction does the Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston produce?
The Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston reaches a maximum vacuum of -70 kPa (about -700 mbar) and a maximum air flow of 30–40 L/min, quoted at about two pumping strokes per second. It has no manometer, keeping the design basic.
Does the Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston need electricity?
No. The Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston is driven entirely by the operator’s foot: each depression of the pedal creates suction, and an integrated spring returns it to the ready position. That makes it usable where mains power is absent or unreliable.
How large is the container of the Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston?
The Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston has a transparent container of 900–1100 ml, so the collected volume can be seen during use. Its wide top opening makes emptying and thorough cleaning easier.
Can the Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston be autoclaved?
Yes. The Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston can be completely disassembled for cleaning and disinfection, and all of its parts can be autoclaved at 121 °C. It works across an operating temperature range of -20 °C to +50 °C.
What materials is the Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston made of?
The Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston uses a transparent polycarbonate (or equivalent) container, an aluminium or sturdy plastic pedal, an acetal suction tip, a silicone rubber aspirating tube and silicone seals, with a Teflon (or equivalent) piston O-ring and an anti-slip rubber bottom.
Who supplies the Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies the Suction Pump Foot Operated Single Piston to hospitals, ambulance services, NGOs and emergency health programmes in India and international markets.
