Introduction to VariVac Wound Drainage System
VariVac™ Canister
VariVac allows different levels of vacuum to the wound site and adjustability without breaking into the system.
Vacuum levels are easily adjusted using the dial on the top of the canister
Range is easily adjustable between the approximate settings below:
P = Gravity Passive 0kPa
I = 5kPa (37mmHg)
II = 10kPa (75mmHg)
III = 15kPa (113mmHg)
VariVac can be easily adjusted at anytime to your desired flow rate.
FEATURES
