Fukushima Suction Tube 9 Fr 15.0 cm (6")

Controlled Suction and Adaptable Positioning for Surgical Access

The Fukushima tapered teardrop suction tube is a surgical suction instrument intended to remove fluids and maintain a clearer working area during operative procedures. Its tapered teardrop tip supports directed suction, while the malleable design allows the working length to be positioned to suit the operative field. Measuring 8 1/4 inches overall with a 153 mm working length and 9 French size, it offers a practical balance of reach and maneuverability. The tube is suited to fluid-management tasks in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, where controlled handling and access around the surgical site are important to an organized workflow.

Use Cases

• Remove fluids from the operative field during General Surgery procedures.
• Support controlled suction in Neurosurgery workflows where careful positioning around the surgical site is required.
• Shape the malleable working length to accommodate the preferred approach and access angle.
• Use the tapered teardrop suction profile for directed fluid removal in confined operative areas.

Care & Reprocessing

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

• Handle the malleable section carefully to preserve the intended shape and avoid unnecessary kinking.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the tip and prevents damage from contact with other instruments.
