Poppen Suction Tube 4.0mm, 12Fr. 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise evacuation of blood, irrigation fluid and small debris from confined operative fields, this Poppen suction tube provides controlled aspiration where larger-bore suction devices are impractical. The 4.0 mm (12 Fr) diameter offers a balance of flow and fine control, making it suitable for ENT, neurosurgical, oral-maxillofacial, plastic and other procedures that require delicate handling and maintenance of a clear microscopic or endoscopic field.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s slender profile and 13 cm working length allow reach into narrow cavities while minimizing obstruction of the surgical view. The single-lumen bore is sized to provide effective suction while reducing risk of tissue ingestion compared with larger lumens. The Poppen pattern is intended for precise fingertip-guided aspiration in small, deep, or anatomically confined sites where tactile control and fine tip placement are required.
