ConMed Sigmoid Suction Instrument

This specialized, single-use instrument is designed for the effective evacuation of blood, fluid, and debris during several critical procedures:

• Gastrointestinal Procedures: Sigmoidoscopies and colonoscopies.
• Orthopedic Surgery: Femur suctioning, particularly during hip replacement surgeries.

A key feature enhancing its utility is the integrated ON/OFF suction control mechanism, which is engineered to minimize tissue grab during these delicate procedures.

Yes, the ConMed Sigmoid Suction Instrument is explicitly designed as a single-use (disposable) medical device.

This design choice ensures the highest standards of safety and hygiene for critical procedures:

• Sterility Assured: The instrument is supplied in Factory New condition, guaranteeing sterility for every procedure.
• Infection Control: The single-use nature completely eliminates the risk of cross-contamination associated with reprocessing.
• Visual Confirmation: The instrument also features a clear design, allowing clinicians to visually confirm the contents being aspirated (blood, fluid, debris) during use.

The instrument’s clear construction is a critical design element that enhances safety and efficiency during procedures:

• Visual Confirmation: The transparent material allows medical personnel to maintain constant visual confirmation, enabling efficient monitoring of the evacuation of blood, fluids, and unwanted debris.
• Clear Operating Field: This helps ensure a clear field of view, essential during delicate procedures such as sigmoidoscopies, colonoscopies, and femur suctioning.

Additionally, this single-use disposable instrument includes an integrated ON/OFF suction control mechanism, which is specifically engineered to minimize the risk of tissue grab during operation.

The ConMed Sigmoid Suction Instrument is engineered with specific, standardized dimensions to ensure precise use and optimal functionality during procedures such as sigmoidoscopies and colonoscopies. Its clarity also allows for visual monitoring during use.

The key specifications for this single-use instrument are:

• Gauge: 18 French
• Length: 11.8 inches (30 cm)

This design is explicitly intended for compatibility with a rigid sigmoidoscope.

Yes, the ConMed Sigmoid Suction Instrument is specifically designed for use with a rigid sigmoidoscope during procedures like sigmoidoscopies and colonoscopies, as well as for femur suctioning in hip replacements. It is engineered to maintain a clear operative field while offering precision control.

Key features include:

• Integrated ON/OFF Control: This mechanism is designed to reduce the risk of tissue grab during the evacuation of fluids and debris.
• Standardized Size: The instrument shaft measures 18 French in diameter and 11.8 inches (30 cm) in length.
• Single-Use Design: The instrument is clear and intended for single-patient use, supporting strict sterility protocols.

Yes, this instrument is offered in two distinct configurations to accommodate different procedural setups:

• Standard Unit (Instrument Only): This option includes the suction instrument itself (18 French diameter, 11.8 inches long) but does not include tubing. These are typically sold in cases of 50 units.
• Unit with Pre-Attached Tubing: This option includes the instrument with 6 feet (1.8 meters) of tubing pre-attached, allowing for immediate connection to a suction source. These are typically sold in cases of 20 units.

Be sure to select the correct configuration based on your requirement for tubing upon ordering.

The ConMed Sigmoid Suction Instrument is offered in two distinct configurations, which determine the packaging quantity and whether tubing is included:

The ConMed Sigmoid Suction Instrument is designed for use in various medical environments, including operating rooms, endoscopy centers, and other medical facilities where procedures such as sigmoidoscopies, colonoscopies, and femur suctioning during hip replacements are performed.

Yes, the ConMed Sigmoid Suction Instrument is equipped with an integrated ON/OFF suction control mechanism. This feature is specifically engineered to provide precise modulation, significantly reducing the risk of tissue grab during sensitive endoscopic and surgical procedures. This enhances procedural safety and control while facilitating the efficient evacuation of fluids and debris.

Yes, the ConMed Sigmoid Suction Instrument is Factory New, single-use, and designed for immediate clinical application. Its clear material characteristic supports single-patient use protocols.

Readiness depends on the specific configuration purchased:

• Standard (No Tubing): This configuration provides the instrument body only (50 units per case), which must be connected to facility suction source tubing before use.
• With 6’ Pre-Attached Tubing: This option offers maximum convenience as the instrument includes a 6-foot (1.8 m) length of tubing already connected (20 units per case), ready for immediate attachment to the suction source.

All instruments feature an integrated ON/OFF control mechanism designed to reduce tissue grab during operation.
