The special nozzles that are placed all around the apical perimeter of the suction tip avoid any accidental suction of small edges of tissue during gingivoplasty. The aspirator is made of medical grade transparent PVC, so as not to absorb the light of shadow-free operating lamps obscuring the surgical site. It is supplied with bending-resistant flexible connectors. Surgical aspirator, 2.50, m with Yankauer suction tip and aspiration control 32.F2044.00 PVC 10 pcs system.

    hospitals_war_cover_april2003 9.6.2005 13:47 Page 1 ICRC HOSPITALS FOR WAR-WOUNDED HOSPITALS FORHOSPITALS WAR-WOUNDED This book is intended for anyone who is faced A practical guide for setting up with the task of setting up or running a hospital and running a surgical hospital which admits war-wounded. It is a practical guide in an area of armed conflict based on the experience of four nurses who have managed independent hospitals set up by the International Committee of the Red Cross. It addresses specific problems associated with setting up a hospital in a difficult and potentially dangerous environment. It provides a framework for the administration of such a hospital. It also describes a system for managing the patients from admission to discharge and includes guidelines on how to manage an influx of wounded. These guidelines represent a realistic and achievable standard of care whatever the circumstances.
