Micro Suction Tube Ø 1.22 mm (140 mm) with Cut-Off & Stylet
Features and Description:
The Micro Suction Tube (Ø 1.22 mm) is a precision-engineered instrument designed for high-stakes microsurgical procedures. Because it features an ultra-slender 18-gauge (Ø 1.22 mm) tip, this model provides the accuracy needed to remove fluids from extremely confined spaces. Consequently, surgeons can maintain a clear view of the surgical field without damaging delicate nerves or surrounding micro-structures.
Furthermore, the instrument includes an integrated finger cut-off control at the base. Therefore, the surgical team can manually regulate suction intensity with immense precision to ensure patient safety.
Key Features
- Ultra-Fine 18-Gauge Tip (Ø 1.22 mm): This micro-diameter is specifically designed for delicate aspiration. As a result, it is the ideal choice for procedures involving the inner ear, small vessels, or cranial nerves.
- Integrated Finger Cut-Off Mechanism: The thumb-hole control allows for immediate vacuum regulation. For this reason, surgeons can instantly adjust the suction force to prevent tissue invagination or trauma.
- Included Cleaning Stylet: Each micro tube comes with a precision-fit stylet to maintain lumen patency. In addition, this allows the clinician to clear obstructions or thick debris without removing the tool from the site.
- Extended 140 mm (5 ½”) Reach: The length of the shaft provides excellent access to deep anatomical cavities. Thus, it ensures that the surgeon’s hand and the aspiration hub remain outside the line of sight.
- High-Grade Stainless Steel Build: We manufacture this instrument from premium, surgical-grade stainless steel for maximum durability. Moreover, the tube is fully autoclavable and highly resistant to corrosion.

Primary Applications
Surgeons frequently select this Micro Suction Tube for procedures requiring microscopic detail. For example, it is a staple tool in:
- Otology & Ear Surgery: Specifically for high-precision aspiration during stapedectomies.
- Micro-Neurosurgery: Providing controlled fluid removal near vital cranial pathways.
- Vascular Surgery: Facilitating the clear view of small vessels during anastomosis.
- Ophthalmic Surgery: Offering a delicate solution for localized fluid management near the ocular surface.
Why Choose This Micro Suction Tube?
This model is widely respected for its combination of a slender profile and ergonomic control. Because it combines an 18-gauge tip with a manual cut-off and a dedicated stylet, it offers a level of safety that standard suction tubes cannot match. Finally, by integrating this 140 mm micro tube into your surgical inventory, you provide your team with a reliable tool that ensures operative clarity and total tissue protection.
