Chata’s New Lavage Pump System

At Chata, we know that tissue processing is a delicate, technical process, and we also understand the significance of the gift of donation. That’s why we work hard to provide tissue processors with the best equipment possible to help them in their work. We feel that it’s our way of honoring the incredible gift of tissue donation.

During the lavage process, pressurized water is used to remove excess blood and lipids from the tissue while it is being processed. You most likely already know how this works, but what you may not know is that we have introduced a superior tool to help in that process.

The new Lavage Pump System from Chata is everything you’d expect from a lavage system, but with significantly better performance than other systems. That’s because our Lavage Pump System provides higher pressure, with a lower flow rate, meaning less water is consumed while you obtain better results, faster. 

Our system provides this peak functionality because it was created with an optimal design that includes a magnetic reversible flow manifold, braided stainless steel flexible hoses and an ergonomically designed gripped spray gun all with quick connects for ease of use.  Add in the benefits of being operated by a foot pedal for hands free operation allowing your technicians to maintain their sterile/aseptic technic and the portable nature of the system provides something you can’t find anywhere else.

The fluid path is a completely closed system ensuring the water never comes in contact with the pump or the environment, meaning there will always be sterile delivery of water to the tissues. After use, you can easily dismantle the fluid contacting components of the system and sterilize them via a validated autoclave cycle making the system entirely reusable. Not to mention the fluid contacting components have a three to five year shelf life. That provides cost savings compared to other systems on the market, which are either single use devices or have single use components.

That means that a Chata Lavage Pump System ends up paying for itself fairly quickly. Estimating you process 10-20 donors per month, our system could pay for itself in as little as two months, but even with a smaller number of monthly units, it wouldn’t take longer than five or six months before the system became more cost-effective than a comparable single use system.  The more donors you process; the quicker you reach your ROI.

That’s a competitive advantage that’s hard to pass up for any tissue processor looking to make a smart change in the way they do business. With the Chata Lavage Pump System, you get higher water pressure with lower water consumption, better and faster results, and huge cost savings because of its ability to be sterilized for repeat use.  If that sounds like something your tissue processing facility could use, then call Chata today to find out more about our new Lavage Pump System.
