Surgical Suction Tube 31.1 cm (12.2)

Focused Suction for VATS and Surgical Access

The 12 1/4" VATS Suction 3.2mm Shaft is a suction tube designed to support fluid and debris removal during video-assisted thoracic and other surgical workflows. Its 3.2mm shaft provides a narrow profile suited to access through constrained operative spaces, while the 12 1/4" length supports reach from the working area to the operator’s hand. The instrument can fit naturally into General Surgery and Cardiovascular settings where controlled suction is part of the procedure, helping maintain a more workable field during routine instrument handling and visualization. Its focused format supports practical use when access, reach, and suction function must be coordinated.

Use Cases

• Support suction tasks during video-assisted thoracic surgery workflows.
• Remove fluids or surgical debris through a narrow 3.2mm shaft during procedures requiring focused access.
• Provide reach into the operative field with a 12 1/4" shaft length.
• Use within General Surgery workflows where a suction tube is needed alongside other surgical instruments.
• Support Cardiovascular procedure workflows where controlled suction is part of the operative task.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the suction tube according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the shaft and suction pathway before and after use for visible residue, blockage, distortion, or damage.
• Handle the 3.2mm shaft carefully to help preserve its narrow working profile.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the shaft from bending, impact, and contamination.
