RestrictedFlow™ Technology
StableVac and RestrictedFlow™ Technology
The StableVac system applies Poiseuille’s theory of flow, where a reduction in the diameter of tubing causes a restriction in the flow of fluid and ultimately a reduction in the aspiration flow rate. Since this reduction in aspiration is independent of vacuum, StableVac does not impair the strength of the suction instrument. This ensures sufficient egress of fluid and debris while maintaining the desired pressure and distention in the joint.

The StableVac Filter
To prevent clogging of the smaller diameter tubing, StableVac incorporates a proprietary filtering device. Secured between the 3mm tubing and the standard 6mm suction tubing, the StableVac filter system captures surgical debris from the suction instrument and only allows material smaller than 0.5mm to pass. This prohibits material from clogging the smaller diameter tubing.
