Yankauer Suction Tube 27cm

Clinical Application

Designed for rapid evacuation of oral, pharyngeal and superficial operative-field secretions and small-volume blood, this rigid aspirator is commonly used in general surgery, ENT, oral/maxillofacial procedures, emergency airway management, and perioperative care. The large-lumen tip clears viscous secretions more efficiently than fine suction catheters and helps maintain a clear view of the airway or surgical field during instrumentation and anesthesia care.

Design & Configuration

The rigid single-piece construction provides tactile control and predictable shaft behavior during guided suctioning. The bulbous, atraumatic tip design combined with a fenestrated side opening permits high flow while reducing the risk of focal mucosal aspiration and occlusion. A proximal connector interfaces with facility suction tubing for immediate use. The 27 cm length balances reach into the oral cavity and pharynx while remaining easy to handle in confined operative fields.
