The OR Grade Yankauer Suction Tube Removable Tip 11¾” Surgical Instrument is a reusable suction instrument designed to assist healthcare professionals with controlled removal of fluids from the operative field. The Yankauer-style configuration is widely used in surgical environments where effective aspiration and clear visualization of the treatment area are required.
Featuring an 11¾-inch length, this suction tube provides useful reach and maneuverability during surgical procedures. The removable tip allows the working component to be detached for easier access during cleaning and inspection, helping support appropriate instrument maintenance and reprocessing.
The Yankauer suction design is suitable for a variety of applications where controlled evacuation of fluids is needed. It may be incorporated into general surgery, ENT, oral and maxillofacial procedures, emergency care, and other operating-room applications, depending on the clinical technique and suction requirements.
The instrument is designed to provide practical handling while directing suction toward the desired area. Its larger and more robust profile compared with fine suction instruments can make it useful for removing fluids and secretions where a more substantial suction pathway is appropriate.
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the tube is designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated professional use when properly maintained. The smooth metal surface facilitates cleaning and inspection, while the removable-tip construction can help healthcare professionals access components that require thorough reprocessing.
The OR Grade Yankauer Suction Tube is a practical addition to surgical suction sets, operating-room instrument trays, ENT instrument collections, and general surgical equipment. Its reusable construction makes it suitable for facilities that follow established cleaning, inspection, and sterilization protocols for reusable surgical instruments.
After use, the suction tube should be cleaned promptly, with particular attention to the suction pathway and removable tip. It should be inspected for blockage, damage, or deterioration, thoroughly dried, and sterilized using validated procedures appropriate for the instrument and healthcare facility.
