Suction Tubes & Cannulas

ULTRA CARE CORP Suction tubes are essential components of surgical instruments used in various medical procedures to remove fluids, debris, and tissues from the surgical site. These devices play a critical role in maintaining a clear and unobstructed view for the surgeon and ensuring a safe and effective surgical environment. Suction tubes come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific surgical applications.

Key Features and Types:

Yankauer Suction Tube: This is one of the most common types of suction tubes used in surgical procedures. It features a straight, rigid design with a large, angled tip that allows for efficient suction of fluids and debris. Yankauer suction tubes are often used in general surgery, such as in abdominal procedures.
Frazier Suction Tip: This type of suction tube has a finer, more delicate tip, making it suitable for delicate procedures such as neurosurgery or ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeries. The fine tip allows for precise suction in tight spaces without damaging surrounding tissues.
Poole Suction Tip: Poole have multiple openings along their length, making them ideal for procedures where a larger volume of fluids needs to be evacuated quickly. They are commonly used in abdominal and thoracic surgeries.
Suction Catheters: These are thin, flexible tubes used to remove fluids and secretions from body cavities, such as the oral or nasal cavity during airway management. Suction catheters are often used in emergency medicine and critical care settings.
Functions and Benefits:

Clearing the Surgical Field: Suction tubes help maintain a clear view for the surgeon by removing blood, fluids, and debris from the surgical site. This improved visibility is crucial for precision and safety during surgery.
Reducing the Risk of Infection: Effective suction can help prevent the accumulation of fluids, which can become a breeding ground for bacteria. By removing these fluids promptly, the risk of post-operative infections is reduced.
