Yankauer Suction Tube 40.6 cm (16.0)

Controlled Suction Support for General Surgery

The Yankauer Suction 16" is a suction tube designed to help remove fluids and maintain a clearer operative working area during general surgery. Its 16-inch overall length provides practical reach from the connection point to the surgical field, supporting positioning and handling within the procedure workflow. The suction feature identifies its intended function for fluid evacuation when suction is required. By combining a familiar Yankauer suction format with a defined length, this device supports organized instrument handling and helps staff select an appropriate tube for routine surgical suction tasks without introducing unnecessary complexity.

Use Cases

• Support routine suction tasks where a Yankauer-style suction tube is appropriate.
• Provide additional reach between the suction connection and the surgical field with its 16-inch length.
• Assist with maintaining a more manageable working area during fluid-removal steps.
