Conductive Suction Bubble Tubing

Conductive suction bubble tubing is a specialized, anti‑static medical tubing designed to safely evacuate bodily fluids while preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) in clinical suction systems. It features clear, bubble‑structured walls that resist collapse under high vacuum pressures and integrated conductive bubbles at regular 1 m intervals to dissipate static charges. Available in standard medical diameters such as 6 mm or 7 mm and supplied in lengths up to 50 m, this tubing is latex‑free, sterile when packaged, and can be cut to custom lengths for versatile clinical use.

Overview

Conductive suction bubble tubing is engineered for use with surgical and bedside suction units to remove fluids during procedures while maintaining ESD safety in sensitive environments. The internal bubble structure provides a series of regularly spaced diaphragms that maintain lumen integrity at negative pressures up to −400 mmHg, unlike plain smooth tubing which may kink or collapse. Conductive additives embedded within each bubble form a continuous pathway for electrostatic dissipation, reducing the risk of sparks or equipment malfunctions.

Key Features

• Anti‑Static Conductivity
  Conductive bubbles are incorporated at precise 1 m intervals, creating a continuous electrostatic discharge path along the tubing length to protect both patients and devices.

  
  

• Non‑Collapsible Bubble Wall
  The reinforced wall thickness, combined with the bubble geometry, prevents kinking or collapse at high vacuum settings, ensuring consistent suction flow even under heavy loads.

  
  

• Medical‑Grade Materials
  Manufactured from clear, medical‑grade PVC or thermoplastic elastomer, the tubing is latex‑free and compliant with ISO 5361 standards for suction equipment.

  
  

• Customizable Lengths and Connectors
  Available in reels of 30 m or 50 m with 6 mm or 7 mm inner diameter, users can cut through bubbles with scissors to create tapered ends or attach universal female connectors as required.

Applications

Medical conductive suction bubble tubing is commonly used in operating theatres, emergency wards, and dental surgeries to evacuate blood, mucus, and irrigation fluids safely while minimizing static risks. It is also adopted in neonatal and pediatric care settings where precise suction control and ESD safety are paramount.

Usage Guidelines

To install, cut the tubing at a bubble mark for clean, tapered ends, then fit the appropriate male or female connector to interface with suction canisters or Yankauer suction tips. Ensure the tubing assembly is grounded to the suction unit chassis or a dedicated ESD grounding point to maintain continuous conductivity along the length.

Compliance & Safety

Conductive suction bubble tubing meets FDA 510(k) requirements and carries CE marking under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 for use in clinical settings. It is supplied in either sterile, single‑use packaging or non‑sterile bulk dispensers, with full lot traceability and biocompatibility certification to ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance.
