Barnes suction tube 5 French angled working length 50mm, thumb plate with cutoff hole

Controlled suction with angled access for ENT and general surgery

The Barnes suction tube is a 5 French suction instrument designed to help remove fluids and maintain a clearer working area during procedures. Its angled profile and 50 mm working length support access where a straight approach may be less convenient, while the thumb plate with cutoff hole allows the operator to regulate suction during handling. The compact 5Fr format is suited to controlled fluid management in both ENT and general surgery workflows. By combining directional access with a hand-positioned suction control feature, this tube supports practical manipulation around the operative field without adding unnecessary complexity to routine suction tasks.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled aspiration and removal of fluids during ENT procedures where an angled approach is useful.
• Support suction tasks in general surgery when access to the working area benefits from a 50 mm angled tube.
• Use the thumb plate with cutoff hole to interrupt or regulate suction while repositioning the instrument.
• Apply the 5Fr suction tube where a compact working profile is appropriate for focused fluid management.
• Incorporate into procedural workflows requiring handheld suction and directional access around the operative field.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the suction tube according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the angled tube, suction pathway, thumb plate, and cutoff hole for visible residue, blockage, or damage before use.
• Handle the working end carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help preserve its shape and functional features.
• Store the instrument in a clean, protected location after processing, avoiding contact that could deform or damage the tube.
