Schuknecht Suction Tube 20Swg with Thumb Plate Cut Off Hole and Stilette for General Surgery

Controlled Suction Support for General Surgery

The Schuknecht Suction Tube 20Swg with Thumb Plate Cut Off Hole and Stilette is a general-surgery suction tube designed to support the controlled removal of fluids during operative work. Its suction function provides a direct approach to fluid management, while the thumb plate cut-off hole allows the user to engage or interrupt suction through hand positioning. The included stilette supports instrument handling within the tube design. Together, these named features provide a practical option for maintaining a clearer working area and integrating suction into routine general-surgery workflows.

• Use the thumb plate cut-off hole to help control suction during operative handling.
