Cooley Suction Tube

Clinical Application

Designed for focused suctioning in confined operative fields, this tube is routinely used for cardiothoracic and vascular procedures where controlled removal of blood and fluids is critical near anastomoses, grafts, and delicate tissues. Its low‑profile tip permits atraumatic aspiration immediately adjacent to sutures and vascular repairs, reducing the need to manipulate tissues or interrupt delicate steps of the operation.

Design & Configuration

The slender shaft and small, beveled open tip provide a low‑profile working profile that improves line of sight and access in tight spaces. The atraumatic edge and modest internal lumen balance effective fluid evacuation with gentle tissue contact, allowing the surgeon or assistant to clear the field without excessive suction force on exposed structures. The simple straight geometry minimizes clogging and facilitates rapid cleaning between cases.
