Product Overview
The 8 French (approx. 2.67mm diameter) Frazier Suction Tube is the “utility player” of the Frazier family. Larger than the delicate 5FR but more maneuverable than the 12FR, the 8FR is the preferred size for general ENT procedures, spinal surgery, and orthopedic wound irrigation. It provides a robust vacuum flow capable of clearing blood and small bone fragments without the constant risk of clogging, yet its low-profile tip ensures it won’t block the surgeon’s line of sight.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Clear” 8FR Lumen: The 2.67mm diameter offers a significant increase in suction volume over micro-tubes, making it ideal for evacuating irrigation fluid during high-speed drilling in spinal or orthopedic cases.
-
Integrated Finger Control Port: The handle features a precision-milled thumb hole, giving the surgeon immediate, 1:1 control over suction intensity to prevent “tissue grab” near sensitive structures.
-
Tapered Ergonomic Handle: Designed for a comfortable “pen-style” grip, providing the fine motor control required for navigating around nerves and vessels in deep anatomical spaces.
-
Clog-Resistant Stylet: Each tube is supplied with a custom-fit wire stylet, allowing for the rapid clearance of bone wax, clotted blood, or debris during the procedure.
-
Anti-Reflective Satin Finish: Meticulously treated to eliminate glare from surgical lights or microscopes, ensuring the surgeon’s focus remains on the target anatomy.
