Frequently asked questions
Are these ConMed Frazier Suction Instruments disposable?
Yes, the ConMed Frazier Suction Instruments are disposable. Each instrument is provided sterile and is intended for single use to ensure optimal patient safety and prevent cross-contamination in surgical procedures.
Do all instrument sizes include a control vent?
No, not all sizes are vented. Most configurations feature a control vent, which allows surgical personnel to precisely manage suction strength during delicate surgical procedures.
However, the venting status depends on the French size:
- Vented Instruments (Include Control Vent): 8 French, 10 French, and 12 French.
- Non-Vented Instrument (No Control Vent): The 18 French configuration.
How many suction instruments are included in each case?
Each case of ConMed Frazier Suction Instruments contains 50 units.
What tip sizes and control options are available?
The ConMed Frazier Suction Instrument is offered in four configurations, allowing selection based on required tip size and suction control capability:
| French Size | Millimeter Equivalent | Suction Control |
|---|---|---|
| 8 French | 2.67 mm | Vented (Control Vent) |
| 10 French | 3.33 mm | Vented (Control Vent) |
| 12 French | 4 mm | Vented (Control Vent) |
| 18 French | 6 mm | Non-Vented |
Configurations sized 8, 10, and 12 French include a control vent on the handle for precise modulation of suction. The 18 French model is exclusively non-vented.
Is the shaft designed for shaping?
Yes, the instrument’s shaft is specifically engineered to be flake-resistant, which facilitates shaping and maneuvering during delicate surgical procedures. The design offers several key benefits:
- Easier Shaping: The metal construction allows for minor adjustments and shaping, helping surgical personnel access confined or complex surgical fields.
- Clearing Obstructions: The design also makes the shaft easier to clear if internal blockages occur, ensuring reliable, continuous suction.
- Instrument Integrity: The flake-resistant nature helps maintain the instrument’s geometry and prevents material shedding in the sterile field.
Is the shaft flake-resistant?
Yes, the ConMed Frazier Suction Instrument utilizes a flake-resistant shaft material, which is optimized for both durability and surgical utility. This key design feature provides several benefits during delicate procedures:
- Allows for Shaping: The shaft material permits minor shaping of the metal, which can be necessary to achieve optimal surgical access.
- Clears Obstructions: The design actively assists in clearing blockages, helping to ensure continuous and reliable suctioning performance.
How does the full-sized handle improve the instrument's usability?
The full-sized handle ensures a secure and comfortable grip during surgical procedures, providing the surgeon with enhanced control and precision. This reduces fatigue and improves overall handling.
Does the instrument include precise suction control?
Yes, the ConMed Frazier Suction Instrument provides precise suction control through a control vent featured on most configurations. This allows surgical personnel to easily regulate suction strength during delicate procedures.However, the vent availability depends on the configuration size: * Vented Models (Includes Control Vent): 8 French, 10 French, and 12 French. * Non-Vented Model (No Control Vent): The 18 French size is intentionally non-vented.
Are these instruments supplied sterile?
Yes, the ConMed Frazier Suction Instruments are supplied sterile, which helps to reduce the risk of infection in surgical settings.
Is the instrument shaft flake-resistant?
Yes, the ConMed Frazier Suction Instrument is designed with a flake-resistant shaft. This feature ensures the shaft’s durability during surgical procedures and also assists in the easy clearing of obstructions.
