The Schuknecht Suction Tube 20Swg with Thumb Plate with Cut Off Hole and Stilette is a high-performance surgical suction instrument designed to provide precise and controlled aspiration during delicate surgical procedures. Commonly used in ENT, otologic, microsurgical, neurosurgical, plastic, and other precision surgical specialties, this instrument helps maintain a clear operative field by efficiently removing blood, irrigation fluids, and surgical debris while preserving visibility around sensitive anatomical structures.
The suction tube features a 20 SWG (Standard Wire Gauge) suction tip, making it ideal for fine suction applications where accuracy and gentle aspiration are essential. The narrow suction lumen enables controlled fluid removal while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues, making it particularly valuable during microsurgical procedures.
The integrated thumb plate with cut-off hole allows the surgeon to regulate suction instantly by covering or uncovering the control opening with the thumb. This provides precise control over suction intensity, improving safety and handling during delicate procedures. Additionally, the removable stilette enables quick clearing of obstructions caused by tissue fragments or coagulated blood, helping maintain continuous suction without interrupting the surgical workflow.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Schuknecht Suction Tube offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting reliability. The satin finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting while allowing easy cleaning after use. Fully reusable and compatible with standard autoclave sterilization procedures, the instrument is designed for repeated professional use in hospitals, surgical centers, and specialty operating rooms.
Trusted by surgeons worldwide, the Schuknecht Suction Tube 20 SWG with Thumb Plate, Cut-Off Hole, and Stilette combines precision engineering, ergonomic handling, and durable stainless steel construction to deliver reliable performance for controlled surgical suction and fluid management.
