Schuknecht suction tube 20 gauge angled working length 78mm, thumb plate with cutoff hole

Controlled suction access for ENT and general surgery workflows

The Schuknecht suction tube is a surgical suction instrument designed to remove fluids and maintain a clearer working area during procedures. Its angled profile and 78 mm working length support access in ENT and general surgery settings where a directed approach is useful. The 20 gauge format provides a defined suction pathway, while the thumb plate with cutoff hole enables practical interruption or regulation of suction during handling. This combination supports controlled instrument manipulation and helps integrate suction into focused procedural workflows without requiring a change in grip. Its specialty-neutral design suits varied suction tasks where reach, orientation, and operator control matter.

Use Cases

• Direct suction toward the operative field during ENT procedures requiring an angled approach.
• Support fluid removal during general surgery tasks where a defined 78 mm working length is suitable.
• Use the thumb plate with cutoff hole to interrupt or regulate suction during active instrument handling.
• Apply the 20 gauge suction tube in focused procedural workflows where controlled access and instrument orientation are important.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the suction tube promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
