Frazier suction tube 8 1/2" 11 French straight working length 140mm, thumb plate with round cutoff hole

Straight Frazier Suction Tube for Controlled Surgical Field Management

The Frazier suction tube is a slender surgical suction instrument used to remove fluid and maintain a clearer working field during procedures. This 8 1/2-inch model combines an 11 French straight profile with a 140 mm working length, providing a practical balance of access and reach for General Surgery and Neurosurgery workflows. Its thumb plate with round cutoff hole supports direct, hand-operated control of suction during active use, while the straight form is familiar to handle and orient. The configuration is suited to tasks that require responsive fluid evacuation alongside careful instrument positioning near the operative site.

Use Cases

• Use for fluid evacuation and working-field management during General Surgery procedures.
• Support suction tasks in Neurosurgery workflows where a straight tube and hand-operated cutoff control are appropriate.
• Use the thumb plate and round cutoff hole to adjust suction response during active aspiration by changing thumb coverage.
• Apply the 140 mm working length when practical reach is needed without changing to a different tube configuration.
• Use the straight 11 French format for routine suction handling where a narrow, direct instrument profile is preferred.
