Poppen Suction Tube 3.3mm, 10Fr. 13cm

Clinical Application

The Poppen suction tube in 10 Fr. (3.3 mm) size is intended for precise aspiration of blood, irrigation fluid, and soft particulate debris in confined operative fields. Its small-diameter lumen and 13 cm length make it well suited to otologic and other ENT procedures, as well as microsurgical and cranial work where a compact, controllable suction device is required to maintain visualization without excessive tissue disturbance.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's compact diameter provides a balance between aspiration capacity and atraumatic access to narrow anatomical corridors. A rigid, single-lumen configuration gives direct tactile control of the tip for targeted suctioning, while the 13 cm overall length affords reach into deeper operative sites without sacrificing maneuverability at the hand. The open-tip geometry supports efficient evacuation of fluids and soft debris while minimizing obstruction risk with appropriate technique.
