The OR Grade Frazier Suction Tube 8FR 2.6mm 7½” Surgical ENT Instrument is a specialized suction instrument designed to provide controlled aspiration during surgical procedures. Its slim profile and extended 7½-inch length allow the surgical professional to access operative areas while maintaining precise control during suction.
With an 8FR size, corresponding to an approximate 2.6mm external diameter, this Frazier suction tube is suitable for applications where a relatively narrow suction instrument is preferred. The lumen is designed to facilitate the removal of blood, irrigation fluid, tissue debris, and other fluids encountered during appropriate surgical procedures. Actual internal diameter and flow characteristics can vary according to the instrument’s construction.
The Frazier-style design is commonly used in ENT and general surgery, particularly where controlled, localized aspiration is required. The instrument can help maintain a clearer operative field by allowing the surgical team to remove accumulated fluids during procedures.
The 7½-inch overall length provides useful reach while retaining practical handling and maneuverability. This makes the tube suitable for procedures requiring access to relatively confined surgical areas. Its design allows the surgeon or surgical assistant to direct suction where needed without relying on a larger suction instrument.
The instrument may be incorporated into ENT surgery, otolaryngology, general surgery, plastic surgery, neurosurgical, and other procedures where controlled suction is appropriate. Selection of suction size should be based on the procedure, anatomical site, required flow, and surgeon preference.
Designed for professional surgical environments, the OR Grade Frazier Suction Tube is intended to provide reliable handling and consistent performance when properly maintained. As a reusable surgical instrument, it should be cleaned promptly after use, inspected for blockage or damage, dried thoroughly, and sterilized using validated procedures in accordance with applicable manufacturer and healthcare-facility protocols.
