Baby Yankauer Suction Tube 5mm, 21cm

Clinical Application

Provides broad-surface suction for removal of blood, secretions and debris from the oral cavity and oropharynx in pediatric and small-anatomy patients. Commonly used during ENT procedures, tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy, dental surgery, pediatric general surgery and anesthetic airway management where a smaller-diameter suction tip reduces mucosal trauma and improves access in confined spaces.

Design & Configuration

The Yankauer-style bulb tip is designed to deliver effective surface suction while minimizing tissue impingement; the reduced 5 mm lumen and 21 cm shaft offer a balance of atraumatic contact and reach into the oropharynx without excessive shaft length. An integrated suction-control port (typical to Yankauer patterns) allows the operator to modulate flow without removing the tip, which aids in maintaining a clear field during critical procedural steps.
