Sklar Adson Suction Tube, 15 French
A 7-1/2 inch, 15 French suction tube used to remove blood and fluid from the surgical field during operations. It remains a routine addition to matching specialty instrument trays.
The Sklar Adson Suction Tube is a rigid suction instrument measuring 7-1/2 inches, connected to standard operating room suction lines to remove blood, irrigation fluid and debris from the surgical field. Clear visibility of the operative site is essential for safe dissection and closure, and a dedicated suction tube of this size lets the surgeon or assistant manage fluid continuously without switching instruments.
At 15 French, the tube diameter suits general and moderately fine surgical fields, offering a balance between suction flow and the ability to work in confined spaces. This listing covers two length variants around 7-1/2 inches, giving theatre staff a small choice depending on the depth of the field being worked in.
Suction tubes of this pattern are used across almost every surgical specialty and are considered a routine consumable-adjacent instrument, so hospitals typically keep several in stock and rotate them through sterile processing between cases.
