Clinical Application
This slender Barron suction tube with stylet is intended for controlled removal of blood, fluids and fine debris from confined operative fields where a low-profile suction instrument is required. The 1.3 mm lumen provides a low-flow, focused suction appropriate for delicate work in ENT, head & neck, oral/maxillofacial and microsurgical procedures, and in pediatric cases where reduced tip size minimizes tissue contact and aspiration force. The included stylet supports lumen patency and enables precise placement in narrow or tortuous anatomy.
Design & Configuration
The instrument combines a narrow-bore suction channel with an internal stylet. The small 1.3 mm lumen reduces bulk at the tip, allowing improved visualization and access in tight spaces while limiting inadvertent tissue entrapment. The 16 cm overall length provides reach into deeper cavities without excessive external profile. The stylet provides rigidity for controlled navigation and helps clear occlusions in the lumen during use; it also permits subtle shaping of the shaft to match the anatomy encountered intraoperatively.

Material & Construction
Constructed of surgical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated sterilization and clinical use. The simple, open-bore design and straight shaft facilitate cleaning and decontamination. The stylet is integrated for intraoperative lumen support and shaping; both components are intended for resterilization and reuse according to facility protocols.
Quality & Compliance
