Description

The Southampton Western Hospital Suction Tube is used to remove blood and fluid from the surgical area. This version is made for paediatric use. It has a narrow tube with a small opening at the tip. The shaft bends near the end, and the other side has a smooth handle and a connector for the suction tubing.

The tube measures 22 cm (8½”) in length and has a 3.3 mm (⅛”) diameter. It connects to 6.5 mm (¼”) tubing. These sizes are important when matching the instrument with the suction equipment. Its narrow bore and short angled tip distinguish it from larger suction tubes used in other settings.

The metal shaft is straight for most of its length, then bends towards the tip. The opening at the end is small, and the bend changes the direction in which the tube can be positioned. The rest of the shaft remains slim, without a bulky working end.

The handle is longer and wider than the tube. Its smooth, slightly flattened shape provides a surface to hold while guiding the instrument. A ridged connector at the back attaches to the suction tubing. The handle, tube, and connector form one continuous instrument, with each part having a different size and shape.

The instrument is made from surgical stainless steel and can be reused after proper cleaning and sterilization. Before dispatch, our quality inspection team checks each tube for construction, surface finish, and overall workmanship. This inspection is carried out by our team before the instrument is packed and shipped.

The Southampton Western Hospital Suction Tube is supplied in a 22 cm (8½”) length, with a 3.3 mm (⅛”) diameter and a connector for 6.5 mm (¼”) tubing. Its narrow, angled tip and elongated handle distinguish it from other suction tubes in the catalogue. This model is listed specifically in the paediatric size.
