OropharyngealSuction

A Yankauer Suction is a sterile, rigid, single-use suction tip designed for safe and effective clearance of secretions from a patient's mouth and throat (oropharyngeal suction). Characterized by its curved shaft, smooth perforated tip, and a control vent for intermittent suction, it is the standard instrument for surgical field evacuation, post-operative care, and routine airway management. Its design allows for precise control to minimize mucosal trauma while efficiently removing fluids. As a critical consumable component, it connects suction tubing to the patient and is essential for maintaining a clear airway and surgical field across all clinical environments.
