Clinical Application
This olive‑tip suction instrument is intended for atraumatic aspiration of blood, secretions and particulate debris in confined or delicate anatomical spaces where tissue contact must be minimized. Common applications include ENT procedures, oral and pharyngeal surgery, minor head and neck cases, and any operative field requiring controlled, low‑to‑moderate flow suction with a rounded tip to reduce mucosal trauma.
Design & Configuration
The rounded olive tip provides a blunt, atraumatic termination that reduces the risk of tissue injury during contact suctioning. The straight rigid shaft offers direct, tactile control and precise positioning in narrow corridors. The model designation includes a "cut‑off" style modification, indicating a tip configuration variant intended to alter the termination profile for specific access needs while maintaining the olive form. The 2.5 mm nominal lumen supports controlled aspiration suitable for fine work where excessive flow could obscure the field or injure tissue.
