Frequently asked questions
Is this suction tube built from high-quality materials?
Yes, it is constructed from durable, high-grade stainless steel. This material choice ensures:
- Longevity: Designed to withstand the rigors of repeated surgical use.
- Reliability: Built to maintain structural integrity over time.
- Sterilization Capability: The material is specifically engineered to be processed and sterilized repeatedly.
Can this be used for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This suction tube is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safer option for patients with known latex sensitivities or allergies. It allows for worry-free integration into procedures where latex-free protocols are required.
Is this instrument designed for repeated clinical use?
Yes, this is a reusable surgical instrument. Unlike single-use disposables, it is engineered for consistent performance through multiple cycles of cleaning and sterilization, offering a more cost-effective and sustainable solution for your facility.
Does the curved shaft offer ergonomic benefits during procedures?
The slightly curved shaft is a critical design feature intended to enhance precision. This ergonomic shape allows surgeons to maneuver more effectively, ensuring the 17 gauge tip can reach and target foreign body material accurately within confined surgical sites.
Is this tube suitable for government or institutional procurement?
Yes, the Sklar Rosen Suction Tube is TAA compliant (Trade Agreements Act). This makes it fully suitable and pre-approved for use in government and institutional settings that require strict adherence to procurement regulations.
How precise is the suction tip on this model?
This model features a 17 gauge tip. This specific gauge is engineered to provide a fine, targeted suction capability, which is essential for the effective removal of foreign body material without affecting surrounding delicate tissue.
What is the primary surgical application for this tool?
This tube is specifically indicated for the removal of excess or foreign body material in surgical settings. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into standard operating room instrument trays and is ideal for procedures requiring meticulous suction control.
Does this product require special care after use?
Because this is a reusable stainless steel instrument, it requires standard professional sterilization protocols appropriate for surgical-grade steel. It is built to withstand these rigorous cleaning processes without compromising its performance or structural quality.
Is this considered a professional-grade instrument?
Yes, this is a factory-new, Sklar-grade instrument. Sklar is a recognized name in surgical instrumentation, and this specific model (MPN: 50-1817) meets the demanding standards expected in professional clinical and surgical environments.
What is the working length of this suction tube?
The tube features a working length of 2-1/2 inches. This length, combined with the 17 gauge tip and curved shaft, provides the optimal balance of reach and control needed for precise surgical suction tasks.
