Product details
The External VAC-GARD Shut-Off Valve is designed to provide an essential layer of safety in medical suction systems by preventing fluid overflow from entering suction regulators, wall outlets, and central vacuum systems. This protective valve automatically stops suction flow if liquid reaches the shut-off point, helping safeguard equipment, maintain a clean clinical environment, and reduce contamination risks.
Constructed from durable, medical-grade materials, the VAC-GARD valve integrates easily with a wide range of canisters, tubing configurations, and suction devices. It is ideal for high-acuity settings where unexpected surges in fluid volume may occur, such as surgical suites, emergency departments, intensive care units, and procedure rooms.
By creating a dependable barrier between collected fluids and downstream vacuum equipment, the External VAC-GARD Shut-Off Valve enhances infection control, extends the life of suction equipment, and supports safer, more reliable fluid management workflows.
