Adson Suction Tube, 12.5cm, 4.0mm Diameter — Overview

The Adson Suction Tube (S16-101-00 family) is a fine-gauge surgical suction cannula, 12.5cm long with a 4.0mm internal diameter, available in straight and curved configurations. It is a general-purpose aspiration instrument used across maxillofacial, abdominal, and breast augmentation surgery wherever a compact, precise suction tip is needed to clear blood, irrigation fluid, or debris from a confined surgical field.

Why a Fine-Gauge Suction Tube

Larger suction cannulas move fluid quickly but are often too bulky for tight anatomical spaces or delicate tissue planes. At 4.0mm diameter, the Adson tube is fine enough to work close to nerves, vessels, and fine tissue planes without the risk of inadvertent tissue trauma that a wider-bore sucker can pose, while still providing effective aspiration for routine surgical fluid management.

Straight and Curved Options

The straight configuration suits direct-line access to the surgical field, while the curved version allows the surgeon to reach around anatomical obstructions or approach a field at an angle without needing to reposition the entire hand or instrument grip — a standard pairing offered across most suction tube designs in this range.

Clinical Use

This suction tube is used broadly across general, maxillofacial, abdominal, and breast augmentation surgery as a fine, precise aspiration tool for routine fluid and debris clearance in confined or delicate surgical fields.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a smooth internal bore to prevent clogging and a polished exterior finish suited to repeated autoclave sterilization.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable and intended for repeated reuse. The internal bore should be flushed and inspected for residue or blockage after each use, and the tip checked for any deformation that could affect suction flow.

Ordering

The Adson Suction Tube, 12.5cm, 4.0mm, is available as S16-102-04 (curved) and S16-101-04 (straight). Scatter Instruments supplies this range internationally to hospitals, surgery centers, and distributors, with bulk pricing and OEM or private-label branding available on request.
