Designed for in‑field regulation of suction strength directly within the sterile neurosurgical environment. This allows the surgeon or scrub personnel to fine‑tune suction intensity—critical when working around delicate neural structures such as the cortex, cerebellum, cranial nerves, and spinal cord.
Key Functional Features
-
Vacuum Adjustment Knob
Rotate clockwise to increase suction; counterclockwise to decrease suction. -
Sterile‑Field Operation
Designed to be fully controlled by the neurosurgeon or scrub nurse without breaking sterility. -
Dual Tubing Connectors
Compatible with standard hospital suction tubing up to ½″ inner diameter. -
Compact Stainless‑Steel Body
Durable, corrosion‑resistant, easy to clean, and designed specifically for neurosurgical precision. -
Reusable Instrument
Requires disassembly for cleaning; can be steam‑ or EtO‑sterilized.
