Schuknecht suction tube 22 gauge angled working length 78mm, thumb plate with cutoff hole

Controlled suction access for ENT and general surgical workflows

The Schuknecht suction tube is a 22 gauge angled suction instrument designed for controlled fluid and debris removal during ENT and general surgical procedures. Its 78 mm working length supports access within the operative field, while the angled profile can assist positioning around anatomical contours. A thumb plate with cutoff hole provides a practical means of managing suction at the instrument during use, helping the operator adjust handling as workflow demands. The narrow 22 gauge format is suited to tasks requiring a slender suction tube, with a design that supports focused access and clear instrument control.

Use Cases

• Use in ENT procedures where a slender, angled suction tube is required for access and controlled fluid removal.
• Use in general surgery for suctioning fluid or debris from the operative field.
• Position the 78 mm working length to reach the intended area while maintaining a practical hand position.
• Use the thumb plate with cutoff hole to manage suction during instrument handling.
• Apply the tube in workflows where an angled profile supports access around the operative field.
