摘要

Suction device comprises a suction catheter (1) with a secretion probe (3) arranged on the distal end (2) and functional elements arranged in a housing on the proximal end (4). The functional elements comprise a peristaltic pump (6), a 12 V motor for driving the pump and a battery pack (8) for the motor. The pump is connected to the suction catheter on the suction side and to a secretion bag (9) on the pressure side. An operating element switches the pump on and off. Preferred Features: The suction device has an image transfer unit with a miniature camera (12) arranged in the active region of the secretion probe on the distal end of the catheter.
