Why choose Halton's Vita Extract?
Halton Vita Extract is a solution for anaesthetic gas and surgical smoke extraction in medical use. Nitrous oxide is good and well proven pain relief during childbirth, but even low concentrations in the room air can cause headaches, nausea and tiredness to medical staff. Surgical smoke generated in laser and electrosurgical procedures is an inconvenience and can be hazardous to medical personnel.
Halton Vita Extract creates better air quality in hospital environment by evacuating anaesthesia gases and surgical smoke directly from the source.

The vacuum is generated by one or multiple blower fans of the central unit that is typically located in a ventilation machine room. Vacuum piping is routed throughout the building to individually controlled suction inlets.
The constant vacuum pressure in the pipework, generated by the vacuum blowers in the central units, extracts the gases out of the medical equipment and forces them out through the exhaust piping. Dedicated sound attenuators suppress pipe noises for the user’s comfort.
