Schuknecht suction tube 24swg, 0.5mm, 13.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise aspiration in confined operative fields, this fine-bore Schuknecht suction tube is optimized for microsurgical tasks. The 0.5 mm aperture and narrow shaft allow controlled removal of blood, irrigant, and debris during otologic procedures (middle ear, mastoid work, tympanoplasty), delicate ENT dissections, and other microsurgery where atraumatic, focal suction is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's slender, rigid shaft and very small tip aperture provide high spatial precision and tactile control, enabling the surgeon to access narrow recesses without obscuring the view. The 24 SWG shaft profile minimizes displacement of soft tissue while maintaining sufficient lumen for continuous aspiration. A 13.5 cm overall length balances reach and control, suitable for operating microscope and endaural approaches.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Suction tube (Schuknecht pattern)
• Model/gauge: 24 SWG shaft
• Tip aperture: 0.5 mm
• Length: 13.5 cm
• Typical use: Fine-field microsuction in otology and ENT
