Yankauer Suction Tube 35cm

Clinical Application

Designed for gross suctioning of blood, secretions and debris from the oropharynx and surgical field. Commonly used by anesthesia providers for airway clearance, by ENT and oral/maxillofacial surgeons for control of secretions, and in general surgical procedures to maintain a clear operative field and reduce aspiration risk.

Design & Configuration

The rigid construction and 35 cm length provide reach and control for intraoral and shallow deep-field suctioning without the flexibility of catheter-style suction. The bulbous Yankauer tip with a side/eye port concentrates flow for efficient removal of viscous material while helping to reduce direct mucosal suction trauma. The hand-held profile supports one-handed maneuvering and rapid exchange with suction tubing during procedures.
