Yankauer Suction Tip / Handle

The Yankauer Suction Tip (also known as a Yankauer Suction Handle or Tonsil Suction) is a rigid, angled suction device designed for the rapid removal of blood, secretions, vomitus, and other fluids from the oral cavity and pharynx. Its wide-bore design and large lumen allow for high-flow suctioning, making it indispensable during surgery, anaesthesia induction, emergency airway management, and resuscitation procedures.

Key Features:

• Design: Rigid, angled tip with multiple side vent holes (eyes)
• Material: Medical-grade clear PVC / polypropylene
• Connector: Standard universal connector — fits all suction tubing
• Handle: Ergonomic, easy-grip handle for secure control
• Tip: Smooth, rounded, atraumatic tip to minimise tissue trauma
• Bore: Wide-bore design for high-flow suction of thick secretions
• Vent Control: Thumb-controlled suction vent (selected models)
• Length: Standard adult length (~23cm) — paediatric sizes available
• Sterile: Individually packed, EO sterilised
• Single-use: Disposable — reduces cross-infection risk
• Transparent: Clear shaft for visualisation of aspirated material

Key Applications:

• Oropharyngeal suctioning during surgery and anaesthesia
• Emergency resuscitation and CPR
• Airway clearance in unconscious or vomiting patients
• ENT and dental procedures
• Post-operative recovery room suctioning
• Ambulance and pre-hospital emergency care
• Labour and delivery suctioning
• ICU and critical care airway management
