Merz suction tube 8" 5 French angled shaft straight atraumatic tip working length 125mm

Focused Suction Access for Controlled Surgical Handling

The Merz suction tube is a 5 French surgical suction instrument designed to remove fluid and debris from the operative field. Its angled shaft supports access and positioning where a straight-line approach may be less convenient, while the straight, atraumatic tip is suited to controlled handling around delicate working areas. With an 8-inch overall length and 125 mm working length, it provides a practical reach for instrument-assisted suction in ENT, General Surgery, and Neurosurgery workflows. The compact profile can support clear visualization and efficient field management during procedures requiring focused suction rather than broad-area evacuation.

Use Cases

• Use for focused suction of fluid or debris during ENT procedures where angled access supports positioning within the operative field.
• Support General Surgery workflows requiring controlled suction and practical instrument reach during operative field management.
• Use in Neurosurgery settings where a 5 French suction tube can support precise handling around confined working areas.
• Position the angled shaft to help maintain access while directing suction toward the intended area.
• Use the straight, atraumatic tip for careful contact and controlled suction handling when working near delicate tissue.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the suction tube according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the shaft, suction pathway, and straight atraumatic tip for visible soil, blockage, deformation, or damage before use.
• Handle the angled shaft and tip carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help preserve their intended configuration.
• Store the instrument in a clean, protected location that prevents contact damage and keeps the suction pathway accessible for inspection.

General use; follow facility protocols.
