Fukushima Suction Tube 5 Fr 18.0 cm (7")

Malleable Suction Access for General and Neurosurgical Workflows

The Fukushima tapered teardrop suction tube is a 9 1/2-inch, 5 French suction instrument designed to help remove fluids and maintain a clearer operative field during surgical procedures. Its tapered teardrop profile supports focused suction access, while the malleable construction allows the working end to be positioned to suit the operative approach. With a 178 mm working length, it provides useful reach for controlled handling in both General Surgery and Neurosurgery settings. The compact 5 French format is suited to workflows where access and instrument maneuverability matter, helping teams manage suction tasks with a practical, procedure-ready design.

Use Cases

• Apply suction to remove blood, irrigation fluid, or other fluid from the operative field during General Surgery procedures.
• Use the malleable working end to adjust the tube’s position for changing access requirements during an operation.
• Support suction tasks requiring a tapered, teardrop-style tip and 5 French format.
• Use in Neurosurgery workflows where controlled instrument positioning and a 178 mm working length support access within the operative field.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the suction tube according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the tapered tip, tube, and malleable working length for blockage, deformation, or visible damage before use.
• Handle the malleable section carefully to preserve its intended shape and functional condition.
• Store the tube in a manner that protects the tapered tip and prevents unnecessary bending or impact.
