Poole Suction Tube

Clinical Application

Designed for rapid evacuation of blood, irrigation fluids, and pooled secretions from large body cavities, this suction tip is used throughout general surgery, trauma, and obstetric/gynecologic procedures. The fenestrated barrel disperses suction across multiple ports to reduce localized tissue entrapment while maintaining high flow rates, making it appropriate for abdominal washout, cesarean delivery, open procedures with significant fluid load, and initial cavity clearance before more precise suctioning.

Design & Configuration

The Poole pattern features a perforated outer guard surrounding a central suction lumen. The guard’s radial fenestrations allow high-volume aspiration while shielding delicate tissues such as bowel and omentum from direct contact with the suction aperture. The removable inner cannula (standard in two-piece configurations) permits rapid declogging and thorough cleaning between cases, improving reliability during prolonged suctioning and simplifying sterilization workflows.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Suction tube (Poole pattern)
• Configuration: Fenestrated outer guard with removable inner cannula (two-piece)
• Tip pattern: Multiple radial fenestrations on distal barrel to minimize tissue entrainment
• Typical use: Large-volume cavity suctioning in abdominal, trauma, and OB/GYN procedures
