TEMED Sucker Specifications
Additional Information
- There are two sizes of TEMED Sucker.
- P2525 TEMED Mini Sucker, has an outer diameter of 4.8 mm.
- P2524 TEMED Sucker, has an outer diameter of 7.6 mm.
- P2525 TEMED Mini Sucker is 36cm long including the connector.
- P2524 TEMED Sucker is 44cm long including the connector.
- The atraumatic suckers designed and sold by TEMED have the function of removing fluid from the surgical field.
- The sump suckers are single patient use.
- There are two sizes of flexible sucker which have been designed to operate in as efficient a manor as possible, maximising flow while minimising the potential for trauma.
- Both sizes of sucker will continue to remove fluid even when all the side holes are exposed.
- Amongst the many benefits of having the distal section of the sucker made of surgical steel is the fact that each tip is able to be polished smooth in the manufacturing process therefore helping to minimise trauma during the surgical procedure. This is very different from plastic sucker tips which can be very rough to the touch due to the moulding process.
- The attention to detail continues with the transition between the weighted sucker tip and the tubing. There is a smooth transition between tip and tubing; the outer diameter of the tubing matches the outer diameter of the surgical steel suction tip.
