Merz suction tube 6 3/4" 5 French angled shaft straight atraumatic tip working length 100mm

Controlled Suction for Focused Surgical Access

The Merz suction tube is a 5 French surgical suction instrument designed to remove fluids and maintain a clearer working area during operative procedures. Its angled shaft supports directed access, while the straight atraumatic tip is intended for careful positioning near delicate anatomical structures. With a 100 mm working length and 6 3/4-inch overall length, it offers a practical balance of reach and handling for general surgery and neurosurgery workflows. The slender profile can assist with controlled placement in confined operative fields, helping teams manage suction as part of an organized, focused technique without adding unnecessary bulk to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled fluid removal during general surgery procedures.
• Apply directed suction where an angled shaft can help reach the operative field.
• Support neurosurgery workflows requiring a slender 5 French suction tube and careful positioning.
• Use the straight atraumatic tip when positioning the tube near delicate tissue or structures.
• Incorporate into surgical setups where a 100 mm working length provides practical access and handling.
