DeBakey suction tube 11 center opening, lateral slots

Controlled Suction Access for Cardiovascular and General Surgery

The DeBakey suction tube is an 11-inch curved surgical suction instrument designed to remove fluid and maintain a clearer operative field during cardiovascular and general surgery procedures. Its center opening supports directed suction, while lateral slots provide additional intake points along the distal end when fluid collects around the working area. The curved profile can support controlled positioning and access within the operative field, helping teams manage suction during tasks that require reach and careful instrument handling. This specialty-neutral design fits established surgical workflows where dependable fluid evacuation and responsive positioning are important.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled fluid evacuation during cardiovascular procedures where the operative field requires ongoing suction access.
• Support general surgery workflows by directing suction toward pooled blood or irrigation fluid within the operative area.
• Use the 11-inch length to reach across the field while maintaining a practical hand position for suction control.
• Position the curved tube to approach the working area from an appropriate angle during tissue exposure and fluid management.
• Use the center opening and lateral slots as the named suction features for managing fluid at the instrument tip.
