Pribram suction tube 5 1/2" 16 gauge curved, thumb plate with cutoff hole

Curved Suction Access with Practical Thumb Control

The Pribram suction tube is a curved 16G surgical suction instrument designed to help remove fluid and maintain a clearer working area during procedures. Its 5 1/2-inch length supports controlled access within the operative field, while the curved form can assist with positioning around the immediate site. A thumb plate with cutoff hole provides a practical way to modulate suction during handling, helping integrate control into the user’s grip. Suitable for workflow considerations in both General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this suction tube supports precise, task-focused fluid management without adding unnecessary complexity to instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Use for suctioning fluid from the operative field during General Surgery procedures.
• Use in Neurosurgery workflows where a curved suction tube can support access around the surgical site.
• Position the curved tube to direct the suction opening toward the area requiring fluid removal.
• Use the thumb plate and cutoff hole to manage suction control during active instrument handling.
• Incorporate the 5 1/2-inch tube into surgical setups requiring a compact, 16G suction instrument.
