Frequently asked questions
Does this suction tube come with a way to clear blockages?
Yes, it is designed with a thin, integrated wire mechanism. This feature allows you to quickly clear any trapped tissue from the lumen during surgical procedures, ensuring the device maintains consistent and reliable suction flow.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This suction tube is explicitly not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical environments where latex-free instruments are required.
How durable is the construction for repeated use?
The instrument is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, designed specifically for longevity and repeated sterilization. It is a reusable tool built to withstand the rigors of standard surgical cleaning and sterilization protocols.
Can I easily control the suction during delicate procedures?
Yes, precise suction control is managed via a dedicated control orifice located directly on the handle. This allows for simple, one-handed manipulation of suction intensity during surgery.
Is this tube suitable for deep or confined surgical sites?
Yes, the 15 French Frazier tube is specifically engineered for confined spaces. It offers a 4-inch working length beyond the primary bend, providing the reach and precision necessary for intracranial, nasal, lumbar, and cervical surgical procedures.
Does this product meet government procurement standards?
Yes, this instrument is TAA compliant, meeting the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, which ensures it is suitable for procurement by government agencies and facilities.
What is the correct angle for this specific tube?
While the naming convention lists a 30° angle, the technical specifications define the curvature as 90 degrees. This provides a steep, fixed-angle bend designed to provide optimal access to difficult-to-reach surgical fields.
Does the tube arrive ready for immediate use?
No, this instrument is supplied non-sterile. It must be put through a standard hospital-grade sterilization process before it can be used in a medical or surgical setting.
What is the total length of the instrument?
The overall length of the suction tube is 7-1/2 inches. This measurement includes the handle and the shaft, with 4 inches dedicated to the working length after the bend.
Is this brand known for medical instrument quality?
Yes, Sklar is a recognized brand in the medical industry, known for manufacturing precision-engineered surgical instrumentation. This tube reflects that commitment to professional-grade durability and performance.
