The single-use Teardrop Suction Tubes deliver superior fine suction by utilizing a teardrop thumb-control. The suction tubes are available in sizes 6FR to 14FR and help achieve the clear visual field necessary for all delicate surgical procedures.
The tubes have a tapered cannula that reduces clogging while the 30 degree pre-bent tube helps prevent kinking. VTI’s always-sterile, disposable suction tubes come with cost savings compared to replacing difficult-to-clean reusables in which the narrow channels become clogged with blood and tissue, posing a cross contamination risk to patients, according to a press release from VTI.
