Clinical Application
Designed for precise micro-suction during neurosurgical and other microsurgical procedures, this slender suction tube provides controlled evacuation of blood, cerebrospinal fluid, irrigation fluid, and small particulate debris from confined operative fields. Its 1.5 mm tip is suited to work under the surgical microscope and in narrow corridors encountered in cranial, skull base, and vascular neurosurgery where gentle, focused suction and minimal tissue disturbance are required.
Design & Configuration
The narrow 1.5 mm lumen delivers localized suction with high positional control, allowing the surgeon to clear the field without engaging or traumatizing adjacent neural tissue. The 22 cm length provides adequate reach for both superficial and deeper cranial cavities while keeping the shaft long enough to remain outside the immediate sterile field. A Luer hub provides a secure, low-profile connection to standard suction tubing, facilitating quick attachment and minimizing the chance of disconnection during delicate maneuvers. Clinically, the combination of small tip diameter and longer shaft balances precision access with functional suction performance; users should be aware that smaller lumens may require intermittent clearing or appropriate suction level adjustments to avoid clogging with larger debris.
