1/4 x 11 1/2” Cooley Suction Tube – Vascular Round Perf End

The 1/4 x 11 1/2” Cooley Suction Tube – Vascular Round Perforated End is a specialized surgical suction instrument widely used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery for controlled removal of blood and fluids from the operative field. It is designed to maintain optimal visibility and ensure precision during complex cardiovascular procedures. This instrument is commonly used in the field of Cardiothoracic Surgery as well as vascular surgery, where continuous and gentle suction is essential for safe and effective operative performance. It is frequently used during procedures such as coronary bypass surgery, vascular grafting, and other open-heart or thoracic operations. The round perforated end design is a key feature of this instrument. The multiple perforations allow for evenly distributed suction, reducing the risk of tissue trauma while ensuring efficient fluid evacuation. This makes it particularly suitable for delicate vascular structures where controlled suction is critical to avoid damage to surrounding tissues. With a 1/4-inch diameter and 11½-inch length , the Cooley Suction Tube provides excellent reach and fluid handling capacity. The extended length allows surgeons to access deep surgical fields within the thoracic cavity, while the narrow diameter ensures precision and control during suction. Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument offers superior durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance. It is designed to withstand repeated exposure to blood, fluids, and sterilization cycles without loss of functionality. The smooth internal lumen ensures consistent suction flow and minimizes clogging during procedures. The Cooley Suction Tube is compatible with standard hospital suction systems, ensuring secure connection and stable suction performance throughout surgery. Its reliable design makes it a trusted instrument in high-pressure cardiovascular surgical environments. One of its key advantages is full autoclavability. It can endure repeated high-temperature sterilization cycles without compromising structural integrity or suction efficiency. This ensures compliance with strict infection control protocols in operating rooms and surgical centers. The ergonomic design improves handling stability and reduces surgeon fatigue during prolonged procedures. Its balanced structure allows precise control, which is essential in delicate vascular and cardiac operations. Overall, the Cooley Suction Tube 1/4 x 11½” – Vascular Round Perforated End is an essential surgical instrument for cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons. It combines precision engineering, durability, and safety-focused design for reliable performance in critical surgical procedures.
