Byrd Suction Tube

Clinical Application

Designed for focused removal of blood, irrigation fluid and soft debris from confined operative fields, this suction tube is used where precise aspiration is required. It is particularly useful in otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) and other microsurgical procedures where a small, controllable suction tip helps maintain visualization without damaging delicate tissue. The slender profile supports access to narrow anatomical corridors while allowing the surgeon to manage field clarity during dissection and hemostasis.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's single-lumen tubular configuration and smooth, rounded tip minimize tissue trauma and reduce the risk of clogging. A narrow shaft provides reach into restricted spaces while preserving a low-profile presence in the field. The simple geometry also facilitates one-handed use alongside micro-instruments and endoscopes, enabling targeted aspiration without obstructing the surgeon's view.

Instrument Specifications
