The OR Grade Frazier Suction Tube 7FR 2.3mm x 7½” is a specialized surgical suction instrument designed to provide controlled evacuation of blood, fluids, and debris during operative procedures. Its slender profile and extended 7½-inch length make it suitable for applications where precise suction and access to narrow or difficult-to-reach areas are required.
This Frazier suction tube features a 7FR size, corresponding to an external diameter of approximately 2.3mm. French size is generally based on external diameter, while the actual internal lumen and suction flow can vary according to the tube’s construction and wall thickness. The narrow profile allows the instrument to be used where a smaller suction diameter is preferred.
The 7½-inch length provides useful reach within the surgical field while allowing the operator to maintain controlled handling. Frazier-style suction tubes are commonly incorporated into ENT, general surgery, plastic surgery, neurosurgical, and other procedures where controlled removal of fluids is required.
The instrument can assist in maintaining a clearer operative field by helping evacuate accumulated blood, irrigation fluids, and other unwanted material. Its design supports targeted suction rather than broad-area fluid removal, making it particularly useful for delicate or confined surgical sites.
Manufactured for professional operating-room environments, this OR Grade Frazier suction tube can be incorporated into reusable surgical suction sets and specialty instrument collections. Its durable construction is intended to support repeated professional use when the instrument is properly handled and maintained.
After use, the suction tube should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected, with particular attention to the lumen and distal working end to ensure that no obstruction or residue remains. Reusable instruments should be sterilized using a validated procedure appropriate for the instrument and according to the healthcare facility’s established protocols.
The Frazier Suction Tube 7FR 2.3mm x 7½” is a practical choice for surgical professionals seeking a compact suction instrument for controlled fluid evacuation and operative-field management across ENT and other surgical specialties.
