Fukushima Suction Tube 10 Fr 18.0 cm (7")

Malleable Tapered Suction for Controlled Surgical Access

The Fukushima tapered teardrop suction tube is a 9 1/2-inch, 10 French instrument designed for surgical suction and fluid removal. Its tapered teardrop profile supports focused access, while the malleable working length can be shaped to suit the operative approach and handling preference. With a 178 mm working length, it provides useful reach for controlled suction in general surgery and neurosurgery workflows. The compact 10 French size is suited to tasks requiring a more focused suction interface, helping the user manage fluid while maintaining practical access and visibility around the operative field.

Use Cases

• General surgery suction tasks requiring a tapered, focused tube profile.
• Neurosurgery workflows where a malleable suction tube can be shaped for the intended access path.
• Controlled removal of fluids from the operative field during surgical procedures.
• Adjusting the working direction of the tube to support handling within the surgical approach.
• Using the 178 mm working length when additional reach is needed for operative access.
