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.
