What Is the Yankauer Suction Tube Used For?
The Yankauer is the standard hand-held suction wand of the operating theatre. Connected by tubing to a suction pump, it clears blood, irrigation fluid and secretions so the surgeon keeps a clear view, and the same pattern is used to clear the mouth and throat during anaesthesia and resuscitation. Its curve lets the user reach round structures while the hand stays out of the line of sight.
Because the tip and connector come off, the channels can be taken apart for thorough cleaning after each case; flush the tube straight after use so secretions do not dry inside. Choose the 8 mm diameter where larger volumes must be cleared and the 6 mm for finer work. When you enquire, mention any lab equipment spare parts you would like quoted, such as extra tips, so they can be considered with the main order.
