Description

Andrews-Pynchon Suction Tube .

The Andrews-Pynchon suction tube clears blood and fluid from the throat during ENT and oral surgery. Its 23.5 cm length reaches the tonsil bed through the open mouth while the hand stays outside.

Built for the throat

The tube passes over the tongue and reaches the back of the mouth. As a result, the surgeon keeps a clear view of the tonsil bed and pharynx.

Length of the Andrews-Pynchon suction tube

At 23.5 cm, it is long enough for adult throats. In addition, the angled design keeps the hand away from the line of sight.

Typical procedures

Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are the classic uses. It also helps during palate, pharynx and oral surgery.

Technique

Hold the tube like a pen and keep the tip just above the pooled blood. Then move it smoothly, avoiding contact with raw tissue.

Keeping it clear

Blood clots can block the tip. Therefore, flush with saline between uses during the case.

Pairing

Tonsil dissectors and ligature needles work alongside it. Together, they make tonsil surgery quick and controlled.
