Walton-Yankauer Suction Tube

Description

Walton-Yankauer Suction Tube

The Walton-Yankauer suction tube is a long metal suction tube for ENT and oral surgery. Surgeons and OR staff use it to clear blood and secretions from the mouth and throat.

A long reach at 33 cm

This tube measures 33 cm. So it reaches the oropharynx and deeper throat while the hand stays well back. That length helps during tonsil and pharyngeal procedures.

Built on the Yankauer idea

Yankauer suction tips have become a standard shape for oral suction. This pattern adds the Walton name and a longer reach. As a result, it suits cases where a standard tip falls short.

Keeping the field clear

Blood and saliva pool quickly in the throat during surgery. Meanwhile, the surgeon needs a clear view of the tonsil bed or pharyngeal wall. Steady suction keeps that view open.

Setting up the suction

Connect the tube to your OR suction line using compatible tubing. Also check the fit before the case starts. If you are unsure which tubing suits the connector, ask us for the details.

Caring for your Walton-Yankauer suction tube

Flush water through the lumen straight after use, before anything dries inside. Then run a cleaning brush of the right diameter through the tube. Let the Walton tube dry inside and out, then sterilize it.

Ordering the long suction

This long suction has a three-year warranty, and we repair or replace it if workmanship lets you down. In Atlanta, a team member looks down the lumen and over the tube by hand before we ship. The FAQ page answers delivery questions. ASTM F899 is the steel standard behind our suction tubes. For a modular version with parts sold separately, see our Yankauer suction system. The ENT instruments range holds more.
