NOUVAG Dispenser DP 30: Infiltration Pump Overview and Selection

What the NOUVAG Dispenser DP 30 is

The Dispenser DP 30 is a universal infiltration pump designed to deliver tumescent solution under controlled flow, saving time compared with manual injection. It is built by NOUVAG AG of Switzerland and is described as low-noise and maintenance-free, with continuously adjustable flow.

The pump is operated with a VARIO or ON/OFF foot switch, so both of the surgeon's hands stay free to guide the cannula or needle. This makes it a practical accessory for any theatre or treatment room performing tumescent anaesthesia.

Typical users are plastic and aesthetic surgery clinics, phlebology units and day-surgery centres. When comparing offers, ask whether the foot switch, tubing sets and a mounting solution such as a trolley or shelf are included, so that the quotation covers everything needed for the first case.

DP 30 versus DP 30 LipoPlus: flow rates and uses

The two versions differ mainly in flow and intended use. The DP 30 delivers 0 to 230 ml/min and is suited to tumescent applications in vein treatment, where infiltration around treated veins is needed. The DP 30 LipoPlus delivers 0 to 480 ml/min with an optimised flow-to-pressure ratio for tumescent infiltration before liposuction.

Power consumption and weight also differ: 40 VA and 2.4 kg for the DP 30, and 120 VA and 3.4 kg for the LipoPlus. Both share a 260 x 250 x 110 mm footprint. The LipoPlus also features easy tubing-set replacement, which saves time between cases.

• DP 30: up to 230 ml/min, vein treatment (phlebology).
• DP 30 LipoPlus: up to 480 ml/min, liposuction infiltration.
• Both: continuously adjustable flow, VARIO or ON/OFF foot switch.
• Both: low-noise and maintenance-free.

Tubing sets, handling and workflow

Infiltration pumps work with tubing sets that connect the solution bag to the infiltration cannula or needle. Ask the supplier which sterile tubing sets are available for each version, how they load into the pump head and how often they must be replaced. Searches for sterile connecting tubes for the DP 30 show that this consumable is a common recurring purchase.

In daily use, the main workflow questions are set-up time, priming, how flow is changed during a case and how quickly a set can be swapped. Because the pump is compact, it fits on a cart or shelf next to the aspiration system. See our article on the tumescent infiltration pump for background.

How the DP 30 fits a liposuction set-up

In liposuction, infiltration is followed by aspiration. NOUVAG offers pairing options: the Vacuson suction pumps, the LipoSurg and the LipoCart workstation. A clinic that already owns a suction system may only need an infiltration pump, while a new clinic may prefer an integrated system. Compare these routes in our overview of the Vacuson 60.

Whichever route you choose, check that flow control is comfortable at the rates your technique needs, and that the pump can be cleaned and wiped according to the instructions for use.

Buying checklist and regulatory note

Confirm which version you need, the list of included tubing sets and foot switch type, the warranty and the service route in the UAE. Ask for training on set-up and troubleshooting, and for a demonstration if possible.

Medical devices are registered with the relevant authority, and clinics are licensed by bodies such as DHA or DOH at emirate level; confirm current requirements before ordering.
