Barnes suction tube 6 French angled working length 50mm, thumb plate with cutoff hole

Controlled Suction for Focused Surgical Access

The Barnes suction tube is a 6 French angled suction instrument designed to remove fluid and maintain a clearer working area during procedures. Its 50 mm working length supports access within compact operative fields, while the angled form helps position the tip where suction is needed in ENT and General Surgery workflows. A thumb plate with cutoff hole allows the operator to manage suction at the instrument, supporting practical control during fluid removal. The narrow 6 French format is suited to focused suction tasks where a smaller tube and deliberate handling are useful. Its straightforward design supports familiar integration into routine surgical instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Removing blood, irrigation fluid, or other pooled fluid from focused operative areas during ENT procedures.
• Supporting suction in General Surgery when access is required through a compact working field.
• Using the angled tube profile to position the suction tip around the operative site.
• Managing suction flow at the instrument with the thumb plate and cutoff hole during active fluid removal.
• Using the 50 mm working length for short-reach suction tasks requiring controlled instrument placement.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the suction tube according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the tube, angled tip, thumb plate, and cutoff hole for visible soil, blockage, or damage before and after use.
• Handle the tube carefully to preserve the angled form and avoid obstructing the suction pathway.
• Store the instrument in a clean, protected location where the tube and control feature will not be bent or damaged.

General use; follow facility protocols.
