Clinical Application
Designed for targeted removal of blood, pooled irrigation, and serous fluids from deep operative fields. The Millin suction tube is commonly used in pelvic and urologic procedures where a long, narrow suction probe is required to reach the retropubic space and other confined cavities. It facilitates rapid evacuation to maintain visualization during dissection, hemostasis, and anastomosis while allowing the assistant or surgeon precise directional control of suction.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's rigid tubular geometry provides a straight, stable shaft that permits controlled access into deep or narrow wounds without kinking. A hand-friendly proximal portion allows the operator to orient the tip accurately while maintaining a secure connection to suction tubing. A smooth internal lumen promotes continuous suction efficiency and reduces the risk of clogging during use. Tip shapes used with this pattern are intended to balance flow capacity with minimized tissue entrapment for safer work in delicate pelvic tissues.
