Yankauer Suction Tube 10mm, bent nozal 29.5cm

Clinical Application

This Yankauer suction tube is intended for high-volume suctioning routines during operative and procedural care. The standard Yankauer tip provides atraumatic clearance of secretions, blood, and irrigant from the oral cavity, oropharynx and exposed surgical fields. Typical settings include general surgery, ENT, head & neck procedures, dental and oral surgery, and routine intraoperative airway management where a rigid, high-flow suction instrument is preferred.

Design & Configuration

The bent (angled) nozzle geometry improves access to posterior oral and pharyngeal anatomy and allows the operator to maintain a clear line of sight while suctioning. The 10 mm lumen diameter supports effective high-flow evacuation of viscous secretions and particulate matter, while the 29.5 cm overall length provides extended reach for deeper or less accessible areas without compromising manual control. The classic bulb-shaped Yankauer tip minimizes tissue trauma while preserving lumen patency.
