Merz suction tube 8 10 French angled shaft angled up atraumatic tip working length 125mm

Controlled Suction Access for Surgical Workflows

The Merz suction tube is an 8-inch, 10 French surgical suction instrument designed to remove fluids and support a clear working field during operative procedures. Its angled shaft and angled-up, atraumatic tip help direct the tube toward the intended area while supporting careful handling around delicate anatomy. A 125 mm working length provides useful reach for general surgery and neurosurgery workflows without changing the instrument’s straightforward suction function. The compact 10Fr profile supports controlled placement, while the defined shaft geometry can help clinicians manage access and positioning within the operative field.

Use Cases

• Apply suction during general surgery procedures when fluid removal is needed to support the operative field.
• Use the angled shaft to direct the tube toward areas that are not aligned with a straight instrument path.
• Employ the angled-up, atraumatic tip when controlled positioning near delicate tissue is part of the surgical task.
• Use the 125 mm working length for access and fluid management during neurosurgical procedures.
• Incorporate the tube into routine suction workflows where a 10 French instrument is appropriate.
