aspirators

Medical vacuum tools

Aspirators are devices that create suction or draw fluid by means of air pressure.

In medicine, an aspirator removes fluids or debris from body cavities—suctioning mucus from airways or draining wounds.

Laboratory aspirators use vacuum pressure to filter or transfer liquids.

The nasal aspirator, familiar to parents, clears congestion from infants' noses: The bulb aspirator was a lifesaver during cold season.
