Suction tube

Overview
Yankauer suction sets are sterile, single-use devices designed to remove oral and surgical fluids during clinical procedures. Their elongated rigid tube and wide open tip allow efficient evacuation of secretions while minimizing contact between collected material and internal components.

Functionality and Applications

• Oral suctioning during surgeries to clear saliva, blood and fluids that obstruct the surgical field.
• Emergency airway clearance to remove secretions and improve patient oxygenation.
• Use in thoracic, neurosurgical, plastic and general surgical procedures to maintain a clear operative field.

Key Product Characteristics

• Disposable sterile Yankauer suction set for single use.
• Ethylene oxide (EO) sterilized; non-toxic and non-pyrogenic.
• Elongated rigid tube with distal suction tip and proximal connector compatible with standard suction sources.
• Large-lumen design reduces clogging and allows visual inspection.
• Available tip types: crown tip and standard tip.
• Optional vent (finger control) for user regulation of suction.
