Suction machine on rent for bedside care
A portable suction machine on rent from Eldrly costs ₹2,500 a month, delivered with a demonstration. It clears saliva and secretions from the mouth and airway of a patient who cannot cough or swallow them away — common after a stroke, with a tracheostomy, or in advanced illness — and it is one of the pieces of equipment a caregiver must be taught to use before the first night.

Using it safely
Oral suction is something a trained caregiver can do; deep or tracheal suction is a nursing procedure. The care team teaches the caregiver the safe technique at installation, and a nurse visit covers anything beyond it. Catheters are single-use; the jar is emptied and cleaned every day.
Delivery, installation and return
Rental is monthly. The equipment is delivered to the address, installed and demonstrated, and collected when the rental ends. Everything is cleaned and checked between rentals. The rental price excludes consumables — masks, tubing, filters, sheets — which are billed as used.
