Vacuum bottle by REDON

In the fifties of the 20th century, the high-vacuum suction system was perfected by Redon bottles. Under the term Redon drainage, it is firmly integrated into today's clinical routine. Two rubber fingers in the rubber stopper indicate the strength of the negative pressure.

The bottles are named after the French oral surgeon Henri Redon (1899-1974).

The evacuable glass bottles were replaced in 1971 by less breakable disposable plastic bottles.
