Fukushima Suction Tube 8 Fr 15.0 cm (6")

Controlled suction with adaptable positioning

The Fukushima tapered teardrop suction tube is a surgical suction instrument designed to remove fluid and debris from the operative field while supporting controlled handling. Its 8 French tapered teardrop configuration provides a defined distal profile for focused suction, while the malleable design allows the working length to be positioned to suit the surgical approach. With an overall length of 8 1/4 inches and a 153 mm working length, it supports access within a range of operative sites without adding unnecessary bulk to the workflow. It is suitable for consideration in general surgery and neurosurgery where adaptable positioning and precise suction handling are required.

Use Cases

• General surgery suction tasks requiring removal of fluid or debris from the operative field.
• Neurosurgery workflows where a malleable suction tube can be positioned to suit the approach.
• Controlled aspiration using the tapered teardrop distal profile.
• Adjusting the tube position during a procedure to support access and maintain a practical working angle.
• Use in surgical settings requiring an 8 French suction tube with a 153 mm working length.
