Schuknecht Suction Tube 3.0mm, 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise aspiration in confined operative fields, this rigid suction is commonly used in otologic and ENT procedures such as middle ear work (tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy) and other microsurgical cases where targeted removal of blood, irrigation fluid, and soft debris is required. The 3.0 mm lumen provides a balance of flow and control suitable for delicate tissues and narrow anatomies.

Design & Configuration

The single‑lumen rigid configuration delivers direct, controllable suction without the flexibility of tubing that can obscure the field. At 13 cm overall length it provides reach into the ear canal and other shallow cavities while keeping the surgeon's hand close to the operative site for fine manipulation. The 3.0 mm internal diameter reduces the risk of excessive tissue entrainment while maintaining adequate aspiration capacity for routine microsurgical tasks.
