Sklar Andrews-Pynchon Suction Tube, 6mm Tip
A 9-1/4 inch suction tube with a 6mm tip, used to remove blood and fluid from the surgical field during procedures. It is a standard item in professional surgical instrument trays.
The Sklar Andrews-Pynchon Suction Tube is a rigid suction instrument measuring 9-1/4 inches with a 6mm tip, used to remove blood, irrigation fluid and debris from the surgical field, most commonly in ENT and head and neck procedures where the Andrews-Pynchon pattern is a recognised standard. The 6mm tip diameter offers a moderate suction bore suited to general fluid management without being so wide that it risks catching or damaging delicate surrounding tissue in the confined spaces typical of ENT surgery.
Maintaining a clear surgical field is essential for safe dissection, and a dedicated suction tube like this one allows continuous fluid management throughout the procedure. This is a single fixed configuration listing, and a replacement tip is available separately for this instrument to extend its working life.
ENT and head and neck surgery trays typically include this suction tube as a standard fixture, given how routinely fluid management is needed in these procedures.
