17 3/4" VATS Suction 10mm shaft

Purpose-Built Suction Reach for VATS and Surgical Workflows

The 17 3/4" VATS Suction 10mm shaft is a suction tube designed to support fluid management during video-assisted thoracic surgery and related surgical procedures. Its extended 17 3/4" length provides practical reach within the operative field, while the 10mm shaft identifies its functional size for handling and setup. The suction format helps integrate aspiration into procedural workflows where maintaining a clear working area is important. Suitable for approved cardiovascular and general surgery applications, this instrument supports controlled suction tasks without adding unnecessary complexity to the surgical setup.
