Simpson-Smith Suction Tube 31Fg

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled evacuation of blood, serous fluid and soft particulate matter from the operative field, this Simpson-Smith suction tube facilitates rapid field clearance during open and minimally invasive procedures. The 31 Fr lumen size provides high-flow aspiration appropriate for general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, ENT cases and any setting where bulk fluid removal is required to maintain visualization.

Design & Configuration

The Simpson-Smith pattern features a rigid, single-lumen shaft and an ergonomically shaped tip geometry that directs suction away from delicate tissues while allowing efficient bulk evacuation. The rigid construction permits precise placement and controlled movement in the wound or cavity; the open-tip configuration minimizes clogging when aspirating larger volumes of blood and soft debris. This geometry balances flow capacity and surgical field protection, helping surgeons maintain a clear view without aggressive tissue contact.
