Abstract
A suction pump system for aspirating body fluids from a patient is disclosed. The suction pump system includes a housing, at least one pump unit, and a one fluid collection container, which is connected to the pump unit via a vacuum line. The at least one pump unit is arranged in the housing, and the housing has more than one fixture for releasably and simultaneously holding the fluid collection container. The suction pump system allows a patient's body fluids to be aspirated from different sites simultaneously. The suction pump system is easy to operate, affords the user great flexibility in terms of the choice of drainage, and permits a good overview of the chosen applications.
