Surgical Suction Tube 45.1 cm (17.7)

Extended VATS Suction for Controlled Surgical Field Management

The 17 3/4" VATS Suction features a 5mm shaft with a port for suction during minimally invasive surgical workflows. Its extended length supports access through the operative approach while helping remove fluid and maintain a clearer working field. The suction format is suited to task-focused use in General Surgery and Cardiovascular procedures where controlled aspiration is part of the operative workflow. The 5mm shaft provides a defined instrument profile for compatible access requirements, while the port supports connection to an appropriate suction setup according to facility practice. This design can help integrate fluid management into procedural handling without adding an unrelated instrument exchange.

Use Cases

• Aspirating fluid during VATS-oriented minimally invasive procedures.
• Supporting suction tasks in General Surgery when an extended 17 3/4" instrument is appropriate.
• Managing fluid during Cardiovascular surgical workflows where suction is required.
• Using the 5mm shaft for access through compatible minimally invasive operative approaches.
• Connecting the port to an appropriate suction setup in accordance with facility protocols.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to the facility's established protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the shaft and port before and after use for visible residue, damage, blockage, or changes that could affect handling.
• Handle the shaft carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help prevent bending or other damage.
• Store in a clean, protected location after processing and inspection.
