Plester Suction Tube

Description

Plester Suction Tube

The Plester suction tube clears fluid in very small spaces. Its slim shaft suits work under the microscope.

Four fine bores

Choose 1.5, 2, 2.5 or 3 mm. The finest size fits the middle ear. Meanwhile, 3 mm handles more fluid in the outer canal or nose.

Why surgeons pick the Plester suction tube

The shaft is thin, so it does not block the view. Also, the handle angle keeps the hand clear of the microscope path. In short, it gives control in cramped fields.

Typical use

Otologists use it in tympanoplasty and mastoid work. It also suits fine plastic and neurosurgical cases. Besides, many surgeons keep two sizes on the tray.

Practical tips

Use the lowest suction that clears the field. Then move the tip in short strokes. Afterwards, flush the tube between steps if blood begins to clot.
