Poppen Suction Tube 2.5mm, 8Fr. 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise aspiration in confined or delicate operative fields, this Poppen suction tube provides controlled removal of blood, serous fluid, and small debris during ENT, ophthalmic, cranial, facial‑plastic, and other microsurgical procedures. The small 2.5 mm (8 French) lumen balances adequate flow with fine control, helping to reduce inadvertent tissue entrapment and maintain visibility in narrow cavities.

Design & Configuration

The rigid 13 cm shaft offers tactile control and direct access to shallow-to-moderate depth cavities without excessive protrusion into the field. The small-diameter bore supports targeted aspiration where larger suction tips would be too aggressive or obstruct the view. The hand-held, single-lumen design facilitates precise tip placement and immediate response to the surgeon's manipulation.
