Frazier (Fergusson) Suction Tubes

Description

Frazier (Fergusson) suction tubes are specialist surgical equipment used for a number of reasons, most notably ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeries.

Purpose:

• Fluid Removal: Their major role is to remove fluids, blood, and debris from surgical cavities without causing trauma. This provides a clear area for the surgeon to work efficiently.
• Narrow Spaces: Their angled form helps them to negotiate narrow and difficult-to-reach locations, making them perfect for ear canal treatments.
• Multiple Sizes: They are available in a variety of sizes (usually denoted by the French gauge or Fr) to meet various surgical requirements.

Key features:

• Angled Design: The most distinguishing characteristic is the steep angle of the tip, which allows access to locations that straight suction tubes cannot reach.
• Flat Thumb Plate: This plate improves view of the surgical site by keeping the surgeon’s thumb out of the way.
• Comfortable Handle: Provides ease of control and mobility during sensitive treatments.
• Stainless Steel Construction: Made of high-quality stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and reusability.
• Cleaning Stylette: A thin wire is used to clean clogs in the small tube.

Benefits:

• Efficient Fluid Removal: Removes surplus fluids and debris while allowing the surgeon to see clearly.
• Improved Visibility: The angled shape and flat thumb plate improve visibility of the operative region.
• Precise Control: The ergonomic grip enables for regulated suction while minimizing tissue injury.
• Reusable: The durable structure allows for several uses following appropriate cleaning and disinfection.
• Size Variation: The size range guarantees that there is a suitable alternative for a variety of surgical applications.
