Gomco Suction Machines & Accessories

Gomco, manufactured by Allied Healthcare, is a name clinicians have trusted for decades in aspiration and medical suction. This collection brings together the portable suction units and the consumable accessories that keep them running — the filters, collection bottles, and canisters that determine whether a suction system performs reliably at the point of care or fails when you need it most.

The Gomco OptiVac G180 anchors the lineup: a portable suction machine delivering a flow rate greater than 30 liters per minute and a vacuum range of -25 to -550 mm Hg, paired with a 1500 mL disposable canister. That adjustable vacuum range makes it flexible enough for airway clearance, wound drainage, and general aspiration, while the portable footprint suits home care, transport, and bedside use alike.

Most buyers arriving here already own the machine and need the right consumables — and matching them matters. The Gomco Suction Collection Bottles Kits (01-90-3695 and 01-90-3696) are 1100 mL graduated plastic bottles with snap-on lids, designed specifically for use with Gomco aspirators. They're disposable and non-sterile, sold without tubing or liner, so confirm you're stocking any tubing separately. The graduation markings let you monitor output accurately during treatment.

Protecting the pump itself is where the Gomco Hydrophobic Bacteria Filters (01-90-3100) earn their place. Installed inline on portable suction systems, they block fluid and bacterial overflow from reaching the vacuum mechanism — a small consumable that guards against contamination and extends the life of the unit. Replacing these on schedule is one of the simplest ways to keep a suction machine compliant and functioning.

Buying tip: the OptiVac and older Gomco aspirators use specific bottle and filter configurations, so match model numbers rather than assuming interchangeability. For related equipment, browse our full range of Suction Machines and Respiratory Therapy supplies.
