Product Review- Hand-Held Vacuum Pump

by Jon Batzdorff on Wednesday, December 02, 2009 6:00 AM

New products are potential new options for patients and the hand-held vacuum pump from Evolution Liners is one of those products. It fills a critical void for those elevated vacuum patients who use the vacuum-chamber-and-hand-pump system but lack the hand strength or dexterity to pump the socket vacuum to the necessary level. (the higher the vacuum the better, but 13" to 15" Hg is the minimum acceptable) We have tried Vacuum Seal pumps and other cheap pumps available at the mall, and found that they can't deliver. The Evolution Pump pumps up to 23" Hg, uses two AA batteries, and is smaller and lighter than my I-Phone (which, to date has no app for pumping up an elevated vacuum socket)

On the Evolution Hand-Held Electric Pump: <br /> <br />Pros: Small,good battery life, light, strong enough <br />Cons: Expensive, no guage, sharp push-button <br /> <br />Overall:&nbsp;&nbsp;Hey, it works well! And it is the only hand-held electric pump that I know of that does.

I have tried the Harmony E-Pulse and had mixed feelings about it. <br /> <br />While it worked it did a good job.&nbsp;&nbsp;It had a fairly quick rate of evacuation of the air and was relatively quite. <br /> <br />However, it continued to leak on me as a result of the hard plastic housing they used for the in-line filter...which they are now offering a fix for.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /> <br />The pump stopped working for me recently and I have had it turned in to be worked on and figure out the cause. <br /> <br />There use to be a model made by Smith Enterprise but I heard they are no longer.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /> <br />Hope this helps.

Vacuum is generated in the vacuum station and the sewage in the pipeline is sucked into the collecting pit or tank in the vacuum station. The collected sewage is transferred by pumps to a sewage treatment plant. There are two options as for vacuum generation. The one is ejector system and the other vacuum pump. With the ejector system, the sewage in the collecting pit is recalculated by the circulation pumps through the special ejector which generates the vacuum.
