The universal suction connecting tube is a clear, medical‑grade PVC tubing designed to connect suction devices to collection canisters, catheters, and Yankauer suction tips with universal female connectors on both ends. Its universal fit is achieved through scallop or ribbed connectors, ensuring a secure, leak‑free attachment across a wide range of suction units and instruments. Available in various lengths (from 1.8 m to 6 m or bulk reels up to 100 ft), it supports both sterile, single‑use and bulk, nonsterile configurations to suit clinical and emergency scenarios.

Overview
Manufactured from transparent, high‑density PVC, the universal suction connecting tube offers excellent visibility of aspirated fluids, enabling clinicians to monitor flow and detect occlusions swiftly. The tubing features striated or scalloped walls that resist kinking and maintain lumen patency under vacuum pressures up to −400 mmHg. Both ends are equipped with dual universal female connectors, sometimes paired with straight male connectors or vacuum‑interrupter options, for versatile integration with various suction machines and accessories.
Key Features
Universal Female Connectors: Each end of the tubing includes scalloped or ribbed connectors that fit a broad spectrum of suction unit ports and Yankauer handles, promoting a secure, slip‑resistant connection.
Anti‑Kink Design: Striated wall construction and smooth interior surfaces prevent kinking and collapse during high‑volume suction procedures, ensuring uninterrupted fluid evacuation.
Medical‑Grade Material: Made from latex‑free, non‑toxic PVC compliant with ISO 5361 and FDA requirements, available in sterile single‑use packaging or bulk nonsterile reels for cost‑effective customization.
Length and Diameter Options: Standard inner diameters range from 5 mm to 7 mm, with lengths from 1.8 m to 6 m or bulk rolls of 100 ft to accommodate diverse procedural needs.
Applications
Universal suction connecting tubes are essential in operating rooms, emergency departments, and dental clinics for the reliable evacuation of blood, secretions, and irrigation fluids during surgical and resuscitation procedures citeturn1search4. They are also widely used in neonatal and pediatric care where precise suction control and sterile conditions are paramount, as well as in respiratory care and tracheostomy management for effective airway clearance.
Usage and Maintenance
To prepare for use, clinicians cut the tubing to the desired length at connector junctions and attach the appropriate suction catheter or Yankauer tip, ensuring all connections are firmly seated. After each use, single‑use sterile tubing is safely discarded, while nonsterile bulk tubing should be replaced every 24 hours to prevent bacterial contamination and maintain optimal flow rates.
