Merz Suction Tube Straight 12 Fr 10.0 cm (4")

Controlled Suction Access for General and Neurosurgical Workflows

The Merz suction tube is a surgical suction instrument designed to remove fluid and maintain a clearer working area during operative procedures. Its 12Fr format, angled shaft, and 6 3/4-inch overall length support practical access and controlled handling in both General Surgery and Neurosurgery settings. The straight atraumatic tip and 100mm working length provide a defined point of application where careful positioning is important. As part of a surgical suction setup, this tube helps teams manage aspiration tasks while maintaining a focused instrument workflow and minimizing unnecessary repositioning during routine procedural use.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled fluid aspiration during General Surgery procedures.
• Support suction tasks where an angled shaft can assist access around the operative field.
• Use in Neurosurgery workflows requiring a narrow 12Fr suction tube and deliberate positioning.
• Apply the straight atraumatic tip where contact with surrounding tissue requires careful instrument handling.
• Integrate into procedural suction setups when the 100mm working length suits the required reach.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the suction tube according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the shaft, tip, and suction pathway before and after use for visible damage, blockage, or retained soil.
• Handle the angled shaft and atraumatic tip carefully to help prevent deformation or surface damage.
• Store the tube in a manner that protects the tip and maintains the instrument's shape.
