A suction tube removes pus, blood, secretions, food or other liquids that obstruct the pharynx or the airways. It can be passed through the mouth or nose, or through the channel of an endotracheal or tracheotomy tube, while the conical cup connector is attached to the tubing of a suction pump.
CH16 is listed as the most commonly used size, which makes this tube a practical stock item for emergency trolleys, recovery rooms and wards. The colour code on the connector lets staff confirm the size at a glance before opening the pack. Because every tube is single-use, facilities usually order it in quantity as part of a scientific equipment bulk supply.
The trading name ScienceLab belongs to Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, India. It supplies this sterile suction tube as a sourced single-use item and quotes it together with suction pumps, airway devices and other theatre consumables for buyers in India and international markets.
