Merz suction tube 6 3 French angled shaft straight atraumatic tip working length 80mm

Focused Suction Access for General and Neurosurgical Workflows

The Merz suction tube is a 6-inch surgical suction instrument designed for controlled fluid evacuation during operative procedures. Its 3 French angled shaft and 80 mm working length support access in areas where a compact profile and directional reach are useful, while the straight atraumatic tip is suited to careful handling around the operative field. The design can fit task-focused workflows in both General Surgery and Neurosurgery, helping teams manage suction with a slender instrument format. Its defined shape and working length provide practical handling guidance when positioning the tube for visualization and maintaining a clear field.

Use Cases

• Use for focused suction during General Surgery procedures where a compact 3 French tube is appropriate.
• Apply the angled shaft to help direct the tube toward the intended area of the operative field.
• Use the 80 mm working length when a defined reach is suitable for the procedure.
• In Neurosurgery workflows, use the straight atraumatic tip for careful suction handling around the operative field.
• Incorporate into suction tasks requiring a slender tube and directional access.
