Key features supporting its utility include:
- Precise Measurement: The canister features easy-to-read, white, graduated markings for accurate fluid volume indication.
- Exceptional Durability: It is constructed from high-grade, shock-resistant polysulfone, allowing it to endure hundreds of sterilization cycles.
- Autoclavable: The canister is fully autoclavable and suitable for all standard disinfection processes, ensuring long-term reusability and a low cost per use.
Is the polysulfone canister highly reusable?
Yes, this Medela canister is engineered for exceptional durability and repeated reuse, which significantly lowers the cost per use over its lifetime.
Key features ensuring its longevity and safe reprocessing include:
- Premium Polysulfone: It is constructed from high-grade, unbreakable, shock-resistant polysulfone.
- Autoclavable: The canister is fully autoclavable and compatible with all normal disinfection and sterilization processes, allowing it to reliably withstand hundreds of sterilization cycles.
- Safe Composition: The canister is certified latex-free.
Is a lid included with the canister?
No, the lid is not included with the purchase of the Medela Reusable 2000cc Polysulfone Suction Canister. This product listing is only for the reusable polysulfone jar itself.
To ensure proper function and integrated safety, a compatible lid must be purchased separately:
- Required Compatibility: This canister is specifically designed to work with Medela lid #0770420 or #0770430.
- Safety Feature: When properly paired with one of these compatible lids, the complete system benefits from integrated mechanical overflow protection, enhancing safety in clinical environments.
Is integrated mechanical overflow protection available?
Yes, the Medela system is engineered to support integrated mechanical overflow protection, which is a crucial safety feature for fluid collection.
It is important to note that the protection is provided by the compatible lids, not the canister body itself:
- The overflow mechanism is built directly into specific Medela lids (which are sold separately).
- To ensure full safety and functionality, this 2000cc polysulfone canister must be paired with either Lid #0770420 or Lid #0770430.
What lids are compatible for safe operation?
For safe and proper operation, this canister requires Medela lid #0770420 or #0770430. These lids are designed to provide essential integrated mechanical overflow protection.
Is the material safe for all patients?
Absolutely. The Medela Polysulfone Suction Canister is entirely latex-free, ensuring it meets safety standards for both patients and medical staff in clinical and surgical settings.
Does it have accurate volume markings?
Yes, the Medela canister is specifically designed for precise fluid measurement in clinical environments. It features:
- Easy-to-Read Markings: High-contrast, graduated white markings are clearly printed on the transparent polysulfone body.
- Accurate Volume Indication: These markings allow for accurate and clear visual monitoring of collected fluid.
- Capacity: Measurements extend up to the full capacity of 2000cc (2 Liters).
Is the polysulfone canister highly durable?
Yes, the Medela Polysulfone Suction Canister is designed for exceptional durability and long-term reuse, providing a very low per-use cost in demanding clinical environments.
