Operating Room (OR) Suction noise reaches levels similar to a vacuum cleaner— disrupting team communication, causing cognitive fatigue, and putting surgical staff at risk every single day. We built a better way.

To Reduce
Operating Room
Suction Noise

Our Mission

Operating Room Noise is a Hidden Safety Issue.

Surgical suction devices generate high noise levels that interfere with communication, concentration, and teamwork during procedures often reaching levels comparable to industrial equipment.

Communication Breakdown

High noise levels interfere with verbal communication between surgical team members during procedures.

Increased Fatigue

Sustained noise exposure accelerates physical and mental fatigue during long surgical procedures.

Hearing Risk

Long-term OR noise exposure poses real risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) for operating room staff.

Cognitive Distraction

Persistent noise reduces focus and increases cognitive load for surgeons and clinical staff during critical tasks.

Reducing unnecessary noise in the operating room helps support a safer and more efficient surgical environment.
Silent CLIP addresses a source of preventable noise that has previously been accepted as unavoidable.

Introducing Silent CLIP™

Learn More

Operating Room (OR) teams have lived with suction noise for decades. The Silent Clip™ is the fix that should have existed years ago.

Silent Clip clips directly onto the valve housing of your suction instrument, redirecting turbulent airflow and cutting noise by 80% without touching your workflow or the surgeon's control of the thumb valve.

Same technique. Same instrument. Just quieter.

Silent Clip Demo

Designed for the Operating Room

Silent CLIP was developed with surgical workflow in mind providing meaningful noise reduction without changing how the surgical team works.

·         Patent allowed (U.S. App. No. 19/299,793)

  • Reduces suction noise levels to support improved communication among surgical teams during procedures.

  • Attaches to existing suction instruments without altering surgical technique or thumb valve operation.

  • Clips into place in seconds with a secure attachment — no tools, training, or workflow changes required.

  • Single use procedure disposable device, supporting infection control standards in the OR.

  • Initially Bausch & Lomb 12–14 Fr only

How Silent Clip Works

Silent CLIP reduces the noise generated by suction devices by redirecting turbulent airflow. This allows surgical teams to maintain the suction instrument performance while reducing unnecessary sound in the operating room.

  1. Attaches directly to the valve housing of standard Frazier suction devices (Initially Bausch & Lomb 12-14 fr.)

  2. No interference with surgeon's thumb valve control

  3. Redirects turbulent airflow to significantly reduce generated noise
