Byrd Suction Tube

Description

Byrd Suction Tube

The Byrd suction tube clears blood in small, deep spaces. Its angled shaft keeps the hand away from the microscope path.

Three bore sizes

We offer 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 mm. Besides, the finest suits the middle ear. Meanwhile, the larger sizes clear the canal or nasal cavity.

Why the Byrd suction tube is popular

It combines a slim shaft with a comfortable handle. In addition, the angle gives a clear view down the canal. So it suits long micro cases.

Common uses

Otologists use it in ear surgery and clinic suction. Some neurosurgeons also keep it for fine work. Moreover, a full set covers most ear procedures.

Tips

Start with low suction and raise it if needed. Also, keep the tip moving to avoid trauma. Then flush it between steps to stop clots forming.

Pairing with other tubes

Most ear trays carry the Byrd beside a finer Plester or Fergusson tube. Start large to clear the canal quickly. Then switch to the fine tube near the drum, where gentle pull matters most.
