Merz suction tube 3 French angled shaft straight atraumatic tip working length 180mm

Controlled Suction Access for Focused Surgical Work

The Merz suction tube is a 3 French surgical suction instrument designed to remove fluid from the operative field while supporting precise access in confined areas. Its angled shaft helps direct the tube toward the intended working site, while the straight atraumatic tip is suited to careful contact with surrounding tissue. With a 180mm working length, it provides practical reach for open surgical workflows without adding unnecessary bulk at the tip. The format is relevant to general surgery and neurosurgery, where controlled handling, clear access, and dependable suction positioning can contribute to an organized operative field.

Use Cases

• Direct suction toward localized fluid during general surgical procedures.
• Use the angled shaft to approach working areas that are not aligned with a straight instrument path.
• Apply the 3 French tube where a narrow suction profile is appropriate for focused fluid removal.
• Support neurosurgical workflows requiring controlled suction access and careful positioning near delicate operative areas.
• Use the straight atraumatic tip when directing suction with attention to surrounding tissue.
