The OR Grade Frazier Suction Tube 9FR 3.0mm 7½” Surgical ENT Instrument is a specialized suction instrument designed for controlled aspiration of blood, irrigation fluid, and other fluids from the surgical field. Its Frazier-style configuration makes it suitable for procedures where precise suction control and access to relatively confined anatomical areas are important.
With a 9FR size, approximately 3.0mm in external diameter, this suction tube provides a compact working profile while maintaining a practical suction pathway. The 7½-inch length offers convenient reach and maneuverability for surgeons working within the operative field. The exact internal lumen may vary according to the tube’s construction and wall thickness.
The instrument is particularly useful in ENT surgery, where controlled suction can help maintain visibility during procedures involving the nasal cavity, throat, ear, and other delicate anatomical areas. It may also be incorporated into neurosurgical, ophthalmic, plastic, and general surgical instrument sets where fine aspiration is required.
The Frazier suction tube design allows the surgeon to direct the tip toward the desired area while controlling aspiration as needed. This makes it a versatile addition to operating-room suction equipment, particularly for procedures requiring localized removal of fluids rather than high-volume evacuation.
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated professional use when properly maintained. Its smooth metal surface supports effective cleaning and inspection, helping healthcare facilities maintain appropriate reprocessing practices.
The OR Grade Frazier Suction Tube 9FR 3.0mm is suitable for hospitals, surgical centers, ENT operating rooms, and professional surgical instrument collections. Before reuse, it should be thoroughly cleaned, inspected for blockage or damage, dried, and sterilized using validated procedures appropriate for reusable surgical instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Frazier Suction Tube used for?
A Frazier Suction Tube is designed for controlled aspiration of blood, fluids, and irrigation material from the surgical field.
2. What does 9FR mean on this suction tube?
9FR (French) refers to the approximate external diameter of the tube. Since 1 French equals approximately 0.333mm, 9FR corresponds to about 3.0mm external diameter.
3. How long is this Frazier suction tube?
This model has an overall length of 7½ inches.
4. Is this suction tube suitable for ENT surgery?
Yes. Its compact 9FR configuration is particularly suitable for controlled suction during ENT and other procedures requiring precise fluid removal.
5. What material is the Frazier suction tube made from?
It is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, providing durability and suitability for repeated professional use.
6. Can this Frazier suction tube be sterilized?
Yes. It is designed as a reusable surgical instrument and should be cleaned, inspected, dried, and sterilized according to validated facility procedures.
7. Is 9FR the same as a 3.0mm internal diameter?
Not necessarily. 9FR corresponds to approximately 3.0mm external diameter. The internal lumen depends on the tube’s wall thickness and construction.
