Fergusson Suction Cannula 4.0mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled evacuation of blood, irrigant and surgical debris from the operative field. The 4.0 mm bore provides moderate flow suited to general surgical procedures, ENT and oral/maxillofacial work where a balance of suction power and precision is required. The 16 cm length permits access into shallow-to-moderate depth cavities while maintaining tactile control at the hand.

Design & Configuration

The Fergusson pattern features a straight single-lumen tube and a flattened thumb plate that enables the operator to modulate suction by partially occluding the lateral port. The lateral suction port at the tip reduces the tendency for tissue to be aspirated directly against the opening, improving field visibility and reducing mucosal trauma risk. The 16 cm shaft length offers reach without excessive shaft flex, supporting one-handed control during retraction or suctioning in confined spaces.
