Oreck + Wiva-Vac

Posted on January 3, 2006 by Andres Trevino

Andy and I used to play with the suction machine in his hospital room during his transplant.
The official use of that suctioning machine is to clear pieces of tissue and blood coming out of the patient’s mouth when they get mucositis.
We had another use for the machine..
We used it almost on a daily basis.
The machine had a transparent tube connected to a transparent bucket in the wall. There was some sort of regulator on top of the bucket that helped us increase the tube’s suction power..
Water and shampoo all over the floor and on top of the table…
And he had a great time moving the tube all over the room suctioning water and bubbles to the transplarent bucket on the wall. He had to clear evidence before someone visited the room.
Today I received the ‘wiva-vac-usa’ nasal cavity suctioning gadget for the home via email.

“Keeping the nasal cavity free of discharge is essential.”
“A standard household vacuum in the United States has a suction of 500 to 1000 watts, which is ideal for the WIVA-VAC.”
“How often the WIVA-VAC is used is determined by the amount of nasal discharge. Even minimum amounts of discharge can be drawn off repeatedly every day.”

Through Andy’s website you can get the WIVA-VAC and an ORECK. Andy gets commission for selling the Oreck, not the WIVA-VAC.
