OptiVac G180 Suction Machine

The Gomco OptiVac G180 is a portable aspirator built for reliable suction where it matters most — home care, patient transport, and clinical settings that need dependable airway and wound drainage clearance. If you're sourcing a machine that balances real suction power with a manageable footprint, this is the unit to know.

The G180 delivers a vacuum range of -25 to -550 mm Hg with an adjustable regulator, so clinicians and caregivers can dial in gentle suction for delicate oral or nasal use or turn it up for heavier drainage. Its flow rate of more than 30 liters per minute means it clears secretions quickly rather than laboring against thicker fluids — a common frustration with underpowered portable units.

Fluid is captured in a 1500 mL disposable canister, which simplifies infection control: there's no scrubbing a reusable jar between patients, and overflow protection helps prevent fluid from reaching the internal pump. The 1.5-liter capacity handles most procedures without a mid-session change, while the portable housing makes it practical to move room to room or send home with a patient.

Buyers typically ask three things before purchasing. Is it AC-powered or battery? The G180 runs on standard AC line power, making it well suited to bedside and facility use where an outlet is available. How loud is it? Like most rotary-vane aspirators, it runs at a moderate hum rather than a disruptive roar. And what supplies does it need ongoing? Plan for replacement 1500 mL canisters and connection tubing as consumables.

This is a single-model collection focused on the Gomco OptiVac G180, so you can compare its full specifications and order with confidence that you're getting the genuine unit and compatible components.
