Coupland Suction Tube Tip w/side hole 3.5mm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled aspiration of blood, irrigation fluid and small tissue fragments in confined or delicate operative fields. The lateral fenestration (side hole) provides fingertip modulation of suction force and helps prevent direct tissue entrapment at the tip, making this configuration useful for neurosurgical, ENT, head & neck and other microsurgical procedures where precise fluid management is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight Coupland geometry offers a slim, rigid profile for direct line-of-sight access to deep or narrow cavities. The side hole positioned near the distal end allows the operator to partially occlude the port with a finger to regulate suction intensity and reduce clogging at the tip opening. A 3.5 mm lumen balances effective fluid removal with tactile control and is suitable when a smaller-diameter suction is required without excessively reducing flow.
