AI Technical Summary
Current suction systems in surgical environments face challenges in efficiently separating and managing flows containing gases, liquids, and solids, particularly in enhancing suction capacity and effectively collecting biological waste while ensuring proper separation and filtration.
A flow separation device comprising a cylindrical body with a suction port, a collection port, an input port, baffles, and a shaft that directs the flow in a cyclonic pattern, allowing gases to exit through the suction port and liquids/solids to exit through the collection port, with optional filters for solid collection, and a method of operating this device to enhance suction capacity and separation efficiency.
The solution significantly increases suction capacity by at least 1.25 fold and effectively separates gases from liquids/solids, enhancing the collection of surgical waste, including biological materials, through efficient cyclonic flow management and filtration.
