Yankauer Suction Set With Connecting Tube

Description

1. Product Overview

The Yankauer Suction Set with Connecting Tube is a precision-engineered medical aspiration system designed for efficient removal of oral, pharyngeal, and tracheal secretions in surgical, emergency, and critical care environments. Its primary industrial use lies in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and emergency medical services (EMS) where rapid, hygienic airway clearance is mission-critical. The key value proposition is superior clog resistance and tactile control, reducing procedure time and minimizing cross-contamination risk. As healthcare systems globally prioritize infection prevention and operational efficiency, this suction set is a strategically essential component in maintaining patient safety and clinician workflow reliability.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material Components: Medical-grade rigid PVC (Yankauer tip and handle) + flexible, kink-resistant PVC or non-DEHP connecting tube; latex-free

• Purity/Grade: ISO 10993 biocompatibility certified; USP Class VI

• Physical Characteristics:

  • Tip: Rigid, tapered, with multiple side-eyelet vents and smooth distal bulb

  • Color: Transparent or translucent handle with optional visible control vent

  • Tube: 6–10 mm inner diameter, 180–240 cm length, transparent

  • Sterility: Ethylene oxide (EO) or gamma sterilized; individually sealed

• Packaging Options: Individually peel-open pouches; bulk sterile packs (50–100 units/case); custom sterile tray configurations

• Shelf Life: 3 years from sterilization date, when stored in controlled conditions (5°C–40°C, <80% RH)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary Industries: Acute care hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, dental surgical clinics, EMS/ambulance services, long-term respiratory care facilities

• Specific Operational Use Cases:

  • Post-operative oral suctioning to prevent aspiration pneumonia

  • Emergency intubation and tracheal suctioning in ER/ICU

  • Dental surgical suction for blood and debris clearance

  • Neonatal and pediatric gentle aspiration

• Performance vs. Alternatives: Superior to straight catheters or metal reusable Yankauers due to combination of rigid tip (prevents collapse) and flexible connecting tube (enhances reach). Key advantages:

  • Efficiency: Side vents reduce tissue grabbing, enabling faster procedure completion

  • Durability: Tube resists kinking under vacuum pressure up to 500 mmHg

  • Cost advantage: Disposable design eliminates reprocessing costs (cleaning, sterilization, labor) compared to reusable metal units, lowering total cost of ownership by ~30–40% in high-volume settings

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality Consistency: Batch-level validation per ISO 13485; zero-defect sampling plan (AQL 0.65) ensures reliable performance in every unit.

• Supply Reliability: Multi-site manufacturing with 6-month safety stock buffer; direct-to-market logistics contracts guarantee 98%+ on-time delivery for contract orders.

• Logistics Capability: Temperature-controlled global shipping with real-time tracking; dedicated medical device logistics partners reduce transit damage risk.

• Price Competitiveness: Tiered pricing for direct B2B accounts, volume-based discounts, and long-term agreements fixed for 12–24 months.

• Sustainability: PVC recycling program available for qualifying partners; reduced packaging waste (high-density case packing) lowers carbon footprint per unit by 18% vs. industry average.

• Technical Support: Full regulatory documentation suite (CE MDR, FDA 510(k) where applicable, IFU, Sterilization Validation Reports) available via digital portal; 24/7 clinical application consulting.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT (metric tons) – equivalent to approximately 4,000–5,000 cases depending on configuration

• Loading Capacity: 20MT per standard 20-foot dry container (exact palletization: 20 pallets of 48″×40″, max stack height 1.5m)
