I do not think that such a piece of equipment exists.

On long open to the surface cracks I use compressed air from my compressor, this pushes the moisture out and drys out the rubber seal. Now with a crack like that you could use a strong vacuum and it might work.

For a damage not open to the surface you would create a vacuum with the damage but remove very little of the dirt once the vacuum was at it's maximum point, normally about 29inHg.

If a vacuum did work on a damage any other way we would suck out all the resin once we went onto vacuum mode.
