About Us
The surgical suction tubing connector links suction instruments and canister systems via universal molded connectors, ensuring a secure, leak‑free connection and efficient fluid evacuation during clinical procedures. Manufactured from medical‑grade PVC, these connectors resist kinking and collapse under high vacuum up to −400 mmHg, enabling reliable performance in operating rooms and emergency settings.
Surgical Suction Tubing Connectors >
Overview
Suction tubing connectors serve as the critical interface between suction catheters, Yankauer handles, and vacuum sources, conducting fluids and debris into collection canisters. They come in sterile, single‑use formats or bulk, non‑sterile reels, and attach directly to tubing via slip‑on or barbed fittings to accommodate various diameters from 3/16″ to 7/16″ (5–11 mm) .
Connector Types
Common connector styles include molded female connectors that fit over tubing ends, as well as rigid male adapters for wall‑mount units. Multi‑size “5‑in‑1” or “6‑in‑1” straight connectors accept a range of tube I.D.s and can function as reducers between different diameters. Some connectors integrate vacuum interrupters to prevent backflow and maintain continuous suction flow.
Key Features
Universal Compatibility: Color‑coded or scalloped connectors fit most suction units and Yankauer handles without tools.
Anti‑Kink Construction: Reinforced, striated walls maintain lumen integrity under high vacuum pressures up to −400 mmHg.
Transparent PVC Material: Enables visual monitoring of fluid flow to detect occlusions promptly.
Sterile and Bulk Options: Available in sterile pouches for single‑patient use or bulk reels for length customization, with multi‑size reducer connectors.
Applications
Used extensively in operating rooms, emergency departments, and dental clinics for blood and secretion removal during surgeries and resuscitations. Also applied in respiratory care and tracheostomy management for airway clearance in ICU and home‑care settings.
Installation & Maintenance
To install, slide the tubing end onto the barbed or scalloped connector until fully seated, or attach with male adapters for wall units. Single‑use sterile connectors must be discarded after patient contact, while non‑sterile bulk connectors should be replaced daily to reduce contamination and maintain optimal flow rates.
Compliance & Safety
Manufactured under FDA and ISO‑compliant quality systems, these connectors meet medical device standards for biocompatibility and sterilization. Latex‑free and phthalate‑free materials minimize allergic reactions and toxic exposure in sensitive patient populations.
Conclusion
With secure connections, robust design, and regulatory compliance, surgical suction tubing connectors improve efficiency and patient safety in modern healthcare facilities .
