Yankauer Suction Tube English model, 34.5cm

Clinical Application

The Yankauer suction is a general-purpose rigid suction instrument used to evacuate blood, secretions, and debris from the oral cavity and exposed surgical fields. Its design makes it suitable for anesthesia airway management, oropharyngeal suctioning during procedures, and routine suctioning in general, ENT, and dental surgeries where firm, controlled suction is required without risking deep tissue aspiration.

Design & Configuration

The English-model Yankauer features a rigid shaft and a bulbous tip that preserves a wide lumen while reducing the risk of mucosal entrapment. The 34.5 cm length provides extended reach for deeper oropharyngeal access or when suctioning through retractors in open procedures. The combination of a large central lumen and shaped tip helps maintain continuous flow and minimizes clogging during removal of thicker secretions or pooled blood.
