Fukushima Suction Tube 4 Fr 18.0 cm (7")

Controlled Suction Access for General and Neurosurgical Workflows

The Fukushima tapered teardrop suction tube is a 4 French suction instrument designed to help remove fluids from the operative field during routine surgical handling. Its tapered teardrop form supports focused suction access, while the malleable construction allows the 178 mm working length to be positioned for the task at hand. At 9 1/2 inches overall, it provides useful reach within the field without requiring a larger tube profile. The tube is suitable for workflow contexts in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, where deliberate placement, clear access, and careful instrument handling are important to efficient suction management.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled fluid removal during General Surgery procedures.
• Position the malleable tube to support access around the operative field when a shaped approach is useful.
• Use the tapered teardrop tip for focused suction handling in narrow or localized areas.
• Apply in Neurosurgery workflows where the named 4 French format and 178 mm working length suit the planned suction task.
• Incorporate into routine suction setup when a 9 1/2 inch instrument is appropriate for reach and handling.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the suction tube according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the tapered tip, tube, and malleable section for blockage, damage, or deformation before and after use.
• Handle the tube carefully when shaping or positioning it to help preserve its intended form and working function.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the tube from kinking, crushing, or contact damage.
