Product Overview
The Poole Suction Tube is a specialized, two-piece instrument designed specifically for “sump” suctioning. It consists of a slender inner cannula and a broader, perforated outer sheath. Unlike standard suction tips (like the Yankauer), the Poole is designed to work safely in the presence of bowel loops and omentum. The multiple small holes on the outer sheath distribute the suction force, preventing the instrument from “sucking in” and damaging delicate viscera.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Flow” Dual-Component Design: Features a removable outer sheath with multiple drainage fenestrations. This allows for rapid fluid evacuation over a large surface area, making it the most efficient choice for high-volume irrigation.
-
Anti-Clog Safety Sheath: The perforated outer sleeve is engineered to prevent the suction of omentum or surrounding soft tissue into the tip. If the omentum covers one hole, the vacuum is distributed across the remaining holes, maintaining continuous flow.
-
High-Precision Inner Cannula: The outer sheath can be removed to utilize the fine-tipped inner cannula for localized, pinpoint suctioning of smaller fluid pockets once the major volume has been cleared.
-
Ergonomic Grip & Tubing Connector: Features a ribbed or tapered base designed to provide a secure, leak-proof connection to standard surgical suction hosing. The handle is weighted for stability during deep pelvic or abdominal “pooling.”
-
Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: Forged from premium stainless steel to withstand repeated high-pressure autoclaving. The two-piece design allows for thorough cleaning of the internal lumens to prevent bio-burden buildup.
