Carefusion VR-TRAP - Vacuum Regulator Trap Fluid Collection Safety Trap Only, High-Capacity Overflow Protection, EACH
The Carefusion VR-TRAP is a high-capacity, disposable vacuum regulator safety trap designed to prevent fluid backflow and contamination of vacuum regulators during suctioning procedures. Intended for direct integration with medical suction systems, this trap-only configuration serves as a vital barrier that collects overflow fluids, safeguarding regulators and wall suction lines from damage, malfunction, or biohazard exposure.
Manufactured with durable, clear plastic for easy visual inspection, the VR-TRAP ensures compliance with infection control standards while supporting routine maintenance in hospitals, surgical units, and emergency rooms. Its designed for quick replacement, providing a cost-effective and clinically safe solution for suction safety.
Key Benefits:
Overflow Protection: Captures fluids before they reach the vacuum regulator, preventing contamination and system damage.
Clear Housing: Allows for quick visual assessment of fluid volume and trap status.
Easy Replacement: Designed for fast, tool-free installation and removal, streamlining routine suction system maintenance.
Universal Compatibility: Interfaces directly with most standard vacuum regulators in both portable and wall-mounted systems.
Disposable and Hygienic: Single-use construction supports infection prevention protocols and regulatory compliance.
These features make the VR-TRAP an essential component for maintaining suction system safety and operational reliability.
