The RES-Q-VAC portable hand-held suction unit is compact and lightweight (0.5lbs) for use in challenging conditions and does not require batteries/electricity, allowing it to be used in natural disasters or in case of power failure. Its powerful vacuum is comparable to electric suction at >600mmHg, and can easily clear vomit, clotting blood, and mucus, making it ideal for first responders, EMS operators and technicians, hospitals, nursing homes, home care, the military, and other emergency situations.
