The 8 1/8″ Raindrop Suction Tube combines an 8 1/8-inch overall length with a 5 Fr diameter and raindrop configuration.
Its defined working profile is intended for controlled aspiration of fluids in neurosurgical applications.

Design & Function

The Raindrop Suction Tube features a raindrop working configuration designed to provide a specialized orientation during fluid aspiration. The working end design can assist in positioning the suction tip according to the requirements of the operative field.

The 5 Fr working diameter provides a defined aspiration profile, while the 8 1/8-inch overall length allows controlled manual positioning. Together, these dimensions provide a practical configuration for neurosurgical procedures requiring a suction instrument.

Surgical Applications

The 8 1/8″ Raindrop Suction Tube may be used for neurosurgical and cranial surgery applications involving controlled aspiration of fluids. Specific use depends on the surgical procedure, technique, anatomical site, and preference of the clinical team.

Handling & Instrument Care

Inspect the suction tube before use, paying particular attention to the working end and alignment. Ensure the instrument is properly aligned and free from visible damage or wear before use.

After use, clean and process the instrument according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established instrument-processing protocols. Store the suction tube appropriately to protect its working end and prevent unnecessary contact with other instruments.
