Clinical Application
Provides precise aspiration of blood and fluids in confined operative corridors where controlled suction is required. The slender 6 Fr (2.0 mm) profile and 13 cm length make it well-suited for micro-aspiration during neurosurgical and otolaryngology procedures, as well as other surgeries that require delicate handling around neural structures and mucosa. It is intended for point-of-contact suctioning and irrigation evacuation in restricted spaces where larger suction instruments would be cumbersome.
Design & Configuration
The straight, rigid geometry delivers a direct line of suction and tactile feedback for the operator, facilitating accurate tip placement. The 6 Fr (2.0 mm) lumen provides a low-profile working diameter that supports controlled aspiration without excessive tissue draw, aiding precision in narrow operative fields. A 13 cm overall length balances reach with manual control for procedures where access is limited.
