GC Medica Fluid Management Solutions | Overview of the Rigid Suction Canister Product Family

In critical care settings such as ICUs, emergency rooms, and operating rooms, suctioning procedures for mechanically ventilated patients are highly frequent. As a core fundamental component of critical care nursing, secretion collection and fluid management have long been plagued by three major pain points: open suctioning carries a high risk of aerosol exposure, traditional containers involve cumbersome replacement and delayed full‑capacity alerts, and insufficient sealing performance leads to potential nosocomial cross‑infection. As a core component of the fluid management system, reliable rigid suction canisters are key to solving these challenges. Relying on high‑quality medical consumables, GC Medica targets clinical pain points and provides a safe, efficient, convenient integrated fluid management solution for critical care.

GC Medica Rigid Suction Canister Series: Full‑Scenario Coverage for Clinical Needs

All rigid suction canisters under GC Medica are manufactured from medical‑grade high‑quality materials, combining high transparency and excellent shatter resistance. They withstand routine clinical disinfection environments, feature clear canisters for easy observation of secretion characteristics, and resist accidental impacts during clinical operations, establishing a strong safety foundation from the material perspective. Furthermore, each model is precisely positioned for different clinical scenarios, with differentiated designs adapted to diverse nursing requirements, achieving full coverage of critical care environments.

BRUCITE Rigid Suction Canister

Designed with a self‑sealing lid that provides a leakproof seal, effectively preventing waste fluid leakage and aerosol diffusion to reduce infection risks. It features an integrated mechanical shutoff valve that automatically blocks negative pressure when full, avoiding fluid overflow and backflow contamination for comprehensive nursing safety. The canister is lightweight, simple in design, and easy to operate with no complex installation required—ready for use directly out of the box, ideally suited for short‑term single‑patient suction care.

Indications: Post‑anesthesia care unit (PACU), general ward critical care, short‑term mechanically ventilated patients.

EPIDOTE Rigid Suction Canister

Positioned as a clinical standard universal model, it offers two flexible lid options: floating shutoff valve lid or non‑mechanical shutoff lid, allowing selection based on departmental and scenario‑specific needs. Optional dedicated tubing kits are available, including one tandem tube and one 1800mm suction connecting tube with an elbow adapter for right‑angle connection, effectively preventing tubing kinking and ensuring smooth fluid flow. It comes in 800cc and 1200cc capacities with standardized interfaces compatible with most negative pressure suction devices on the market. Featuring excellent sealing performance to completely eliminate fluid leakage and aerosol escape, it is ideal for long‑term routine care settings.

Indications: Long‑term bedridden ICU patients, respiratory general critical care wards, routine suction care scenarios.

HUMITE Rigid Suction Canister

This 800cc suction canister features a multi‑port lid design for multifunctional compatibility. Universal interface and dimensions allow direct compatibility with most suction devices without additional adjustment. The self‑sealing lid ensures a tight, leakproof seal to eliminate infection risks. The canister includes a frosted writing panel for real‑time patient information documentation and clear, large‑volume graduations for quick and intuitive fluid level monitoring, delivering exceptional convenience and practicality.

Indications: ICU critical care areas, emergency mobile resuscitation, limited‑space ward nursing environments.

Core Shared Advantages of the Full Series

• Smart Overflow Protection: 

  Built‑in mechanical float valve shutoff system automatically cuts off negative pressure at full capacity, preventing fluid backflow, suction equipment damage, and patient airway contamination.

  
  

• Fully Sealed Leakproof Design:

  Screw or snap‑on sealing structure for secure closure, ensuring zero leakage and volatilization during daily use, transportation, or disposal, blocking infection transmission at the source.

• Medical‑Grade Material Assurance:

  Entire series uses premium medical‑grade materials, high transparency, shatter‑resistant, withstands routine disinfection, with clear canisters for observation, combining safety and practicality.

• Standardized Interface Compatibility:

  Industry‑standard interfaces compatible with most negative pressure suction devices available, no additional debugging required, improving nursing efficiency.
