The Teardrop Suction Tube 3Fr Tapered 120mm (4 3/4″) is a specialized microsurgical suction instrument developed for procedures that require exceptional precision and controlled aspiration. Commonly utilized in ENT surgery, otology, rhinology, pediatric procedures, and microsurgical interventions, this instrument enables surgeons to effectively remove blood, irrigation fluids, and surgical debris while minimizing disruption to delicate anatomical structures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the suction tube offers superior durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. Its high-quality construction ensures dependable performance in demanding surgical environments and allows the instrument to withstand repeated sterilization cycles without compromising structural integrity.

The defining feature of this instrument is its 3Fr tapered suction lumen, which is specifically designed for fine and controlled aspiration. The small French size makes it ideal for use in narrow surgical fields where excessive suction could potentially damage delicate tissues. The tapered design enhances precision by concentrating suction at the operative site, allowing surgeons to maintain a clear field while performing intricate procedures.

The specialized teardrop tip configuration is engineered to provide targeted fluid evacuation while preserving visibility around the surgical area. The streamlined tip design allows efficient aspiration of blood, mucus, irrigation fluids, and debris while reducing the risk of tissue adherence. This makes the instrument particularly valuable in microsurgical procedures where accuracy and visualization are critical.

With a working length of 120mm (4 3/4 inches), the suction tube offers excellent maneuverability and control. The compact profile allows surgeons to navigate confined anatomical spaces with precision while maintaining comfortable handling. This medium-length design is especially useful in ENT and otologic procedures where detailed instrument manipulation is required.

The smooth internal lumen promotes uninterrupted suction flow and helps minimize the possibility of obstruction. Consistent suction performance is essential for maintaining a clean operative field and ensuring optimal visibility throughout the procedure. The precision-engineered internal pathway supports reliable aspiration during both routine and advanced surgeries.

A mirror-polished finish enhances the instrument’s resistance to corrosion, staining, and wear. The polished surface facilitates thorough cleaning and sterilization while supporting compliance with strict surgical hygiene and infection control protocols. The finish also contributes to the instrument’s professional appearance and extended service life.

Designed for compatibility with standard surgical suction systems, the Teardrop Suction Tube 3Fr Tapered 120mm (4 3/4″) integrates seamlessly into existing operating room setups. Its universal connection design eliminates the need for specialized adapters, making it a versatile choice across multiple surgical specialties.

Fully autoclavable and reusable, this suction tube offers a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution for healthcare facilities. The durable stainless steel construction ensures years of reliable clinical performance while maintaining safety and functionality through repeated sterilization cycles.

Widely trusted by ENT surgeons, otologists, rhinologists, and microsurgical specialists, the Teardrop Suction Tube 3Fr Tapered 120mm (4 3/4″) delivers the precision, durability, and fluid management capabilities required for successful surgical outcomes. It remains an essential instrument for procedures requiring meticulous aspiration and superior visualization.
