Abstract
An adapter for an evacuator for increasing a suction power of the evacuator includes a suction assembly adapted to be coupled with the evacuator. The suction assembly has a housing, an impeller arranged inside the housing and configured to provide a suction, and an inlet conduit to facilitate a flow of fluid to the impeller. The suction assembly also includes an outlet conduit arranged inside the housing and adapted to be coupled to the evacuator. The outlet conduit is in fluid communication with the impeller and facilitates a flow of the fluid from the suction assembly to the evacuator.

An adapter for an evacuator, comprising:
- a suction assembly adapted to be coupled with the evacuator, wherein the suction assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- an impeller assembly arranged inside the housing, wherein the impeller assembly includes an impeller, a motor driving the impeller, and an impeller housing, wherein the impeller assembly is configured to provide a suction;
- an inlet conduit to facilitate a flow of fluid to the impeller;
- and
