Airway clearance
Portable and onboard suction.
Suction that holds up to field use. We help you choose for reliability and simple upkeep between calls — the two things that decide whether a unit works when someone reaches for it.
Quoted for public procurement · on-site and depot service across Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, and South Dakota
What this category covers
Portable suction units and onboard suction, plus the accessories that keep them in service. Most agencies need some of each, and the split depends on how your crews actually work a scene.
This is also the category most likely to be missing or dead when it is needed, and the least likely to be noticed until then. Suction sits untouched between the calls where it matters absolutely — which is exactly why how simple it is to check and maintain belongs in the buying decision.
How we help you choose
What we weigh with you
Tell us what you run and how you run it. These are the things we work through before we recommend anything.
- Portable, onboard, or both What has to come off the truck and what stays on it is the first question, and it is an operational one.
- Reliability in field use This equipment gets carried, dropped, and stored. It has to work anyway.
- Upkeep between calls Simple upkeep is a feature. Anything a crew has to remember at 3am is a risk, not a capability.
- Your vehicles and your budget What mounts, what powers it, and what your board will approve.
A guide, not a catalog. You will not find a shopping cart here, and you will not be handed a spec sheet and a checkout link. Tell us what you have and what you are trying to do, and we will tell you what we would recommend — including when the honest answer is to wait, or to repair what you already have.
After the purchase
Checked on a schedule, not on a hunch.
Through ProTek by LifeMed, inspection is a structured check of the unit's condition and function — what is working, what is wearing, and what will need attention next. Preventive maintenance and repair run through the same operation, on-site at your station or at our Loveland bench.
The service record stays on file for the life of each unit: what was found, what was done, the PM date and the next-due date, and any parts replaced. Retrievable on request.
See what readiness requiresKeep the spares on hand
The batteries, cables, and consumables that keep a unit ready between calls are a category of their own — and the one that quietly takes units out of service.
Accessories & suppliesGrants, cooperative contracts, purchase orders, and trade-in credit — we quote to whichever mechanism your procurement actually uses.
