Tip only for Yankauer Suction Tube,

Clinical Application

This replaceable Yankauer tip provides effective suctioning of saliva, blood and particulate matter from the oral cavity and superficial surgical field. It is used by anesthesiologists, surgeons and perioperative staff for airway clearance, oropharyngeal suctioning during induction and emergence, and adjunct suctioning during head & neck, dental and general surgical procedures where a rigid, controllable suction tip is preferred.

Design & Configuration

The contoured Yankauer geometry concentrates a relatively large-bore lumen at the working end, allowing efficient removal of thicker secretions and blood while reducing clogging risk. A peripheral relief/opening typical to the pattern permits controlled entrainment of air to limit tissue suction and provides tactile suction control when partially occluded by the clinician’s finger. Offering the tip-only configuration enables rapid exchange or replacement without discarding the entire suction assembly, supporting instrument lifecycle management and reducing replenishment costs for high-use areas.
