The suction connecting tube with Yankauer handle is engineered to link a Yankauer suction handle securely to a suction apparatus for the efficient evacuation of body fluids during surgical and clinical procedures. Constructed from transparent, medical‑grade PVC, it allows real‑time visualization of fluid flow to detect blockages and ensure continuous suction performance. Its reinforced, anti‑kink wall resists collapse under high negative pressures up to −400 mmHg, maintaining lumen patency even during heavy suctioning.
Connecting Tube with Yankauer Handle >
Construction & Material
Made of clear, non‑toxic PVC compliant with ISO 5361 standards, the tubing provides excellent chemical resistance and biocompatibility for single‑use applications. The smooth, uniform inner surface facilitates rapid fluid evacuation while minimizing shear trauma to drawn tissues and reducing the risk of occlusions.
Design & Performance
The ribbed, reinforced tube wall prevents kinking and collapse under high vacuum pressures, ensuring consistent suction flow and reducing procedural interruptions. A slip‑resistant, bulbous Yankauer handle offers ergonomic grip and maneuverability, allowing clinicians to maintain control during delicate aspiration.
Variants & Compatibility
Available in standard lengths of 1.8 m, 3 m, and 3.6 m (with bulk reels up to 100 ft), clinicians can cut tubing at connector junctions to achieve custom lengths as needed. Inner diameters of 3/16″ (5 mm) and 1/4″ (6 mm) accommodate a wide range of suction device ports, and universal female connectors ensure compatibility with most Yankauer handles and wall‑mount suction units.
Packaging & Safety
Each tube assembly is supplied sterile in a peel‑open pouch for single‑patient use, and is latex‑free to minimize allergic reactions. Users are advised to discard after use and avoid re‑sterilization to maintain device integrity and prevent cross‑contamination.
Applications & Usage
Ideal for operating rooms, emergency departments, dental clinics, and critical care units, this suction connecting tube with Yankauer handle efficiently clears blood, secretions, and irrigation fluids to maintain a clear surgical field. To assemble, attach the Yankauer handle to one end of the tube, secure the female connector to the suction canister or wall port, and verify a leak‑free seal before activating suction. Proper grounding and routine inspection for cracks or blockages further ensure reliable performance and patient safety throughout clinical procedures.
