The Schuknecht Suction Tube 20Swg with Thumb Plate, Cut-Off Hole & Stilette is a high-precision surgical suction instrument developed for efficient removal of blood, irrigation fluids, and surgical debris during delicate ENT, otologic, neurotologic, and microsurgical procedures. Its fine 20 SWG suction tip enables highly accurate aspiration in confined operative fields where precision is essential.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the suction tube offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The narrow suction lumen allows gentle fluid removal while minimizing disturbance to surrounding tissues, making it suitable for procedures involving the ear and other delicate anatomical structures.
The integrated thumb plate with cut-off hole provides surgeons with fingertip control over suction intensity. By covering or uncovering the vent hole, suction can be adjusted instantly, allowing greater precision and improved visualization throughout the procedure.
The removable stilette is designed to quickly clear obstructions caused by tissue fragments or coagulated blood, maintaining uninterrupted suction without requiring instrument replacement. This feature enhances procedural efficiency and reduces surgical interruptions.
Its lightweight, ergonomic design ensures excellent balance and comfortable handling, while the polished finish improves resistance to corrosion and staining and simplifies cleaning and sterilization. Designed for repeated professional use, the Schuknecht Suction Tube maintains reliable suction performance and structural integrity through frequent autoclave sterilization cycles.
Ideal for hospitals, ENT clinics, otology centers, neurosurgical units, and specialty surgical facilities, the Schuknecht Suction Tube 20 SWG with Thumb Plate, Cut-Off Hole & Stilette combines precision engineering, durable stainless steel construction, and dependable suction control for advanced surgical applications.
