Western Medica Autoclavable Suction Overflow Trap Bottle (Lid Not Included)

Western Medica Suction Overflow Trap Bottle | Autoclavable | Replacement Component

The Western Medica Suction Overflow Trap Bottle is a critical safety component designed to act as a secondary fail-safe for medical vacuum systems. Positioned between the primary collection canister and the wall vacuum regulator, this trap effectively captures moisture and aerosolized fluids that bypass the primary canister, preventing liquid ingress from damaging expensive central vacuum pumps or portable suction units.

Constructed from high-impact, medical-grade polycarbonate, this bottle is engineered to withstand the rigorous pressure and temperature demands of repeated steam autoclaving, ensuring a long service life in high-turnover clinical environments.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Vacuum System Safeguard: The primary role of this trap is to protect the facility's infrastructure. By providing a dedicated space for overflow, it eliminates the risk of "slugging" fluids into the vacuum lines, which can lead to costly repairs and biohazardous contamination of the pneumatic system.

• Full Autoclave Compatibility: Unlike disposable canisters, this Western Medica bottle can be processed through standard hospital sterilization cycles ($121°C$ to $134°C$), offering a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to single-use plastics.

• High-Clarity Monitoring: The transparent body features molded-in graduation marks, allowing nursing and anesthesia staff to monitor fluid levels at a glance. This rapid visual feedback is essential during high-volume fluid procedures where primary canisters may fill unexpectedly.

• Chemical & Impact Resistance: The specialized polymer resists "crazing" or clouding when exposed to common medical disinfectants and maintains its structural integrity even under high-vacuum pressures.

• Universal Replacement Fit: Designed to the exact OEM specifications of Western Medica, this bottle serves as a seamless replacement for cracked or discolored units in existing suction setups, ensuring a perfectly airtight seal with your current Western Medica lids.
