Surgical Suction Filters

Surgical suction systems handle liquids and smoke that contain a variety of contaminants including fine particles, blood-borne viral pathogens, aerosolized bacteria and carcinogenic hydrocarbons. This poses a contamination risk to patients, healthcare workers, and suction equipment. With a filtration efficiency of >99.9999% at a particle size of 0.1 µm, GORE™ Medical Membranes for surgical suction filters are proven to provide the most complete and dependable sterile barrier to bacterial and viral contamination.

Filtration is one of the most critical components of a surgical suction system. GORE™ Medical Membranes dependably block bulk liquids and fine aerosols, including surgical smoke, and consistently maintain high airflow even when challenged by liquids and smoke. Filter devices using GORE™ Medical Membrane are inherently hydrophobic and are engineered to prevent premature shut-off, and reliably shut off flow when the suction container is full.
