A Yankauer suction set is a medical device used for suctioning fluids, secretions, and debris from a patient’s airway during surgical procedures or in medical settings where suctioning is required. It consists of a rigid plastic suction tip, a flexible suction tubing, and a connection to a suction source. The main components and features of a Yankauer suction set include: Suction Tip: The suction tip of a Yankauer set is made of rigid plastic and has a large, open-end with multiple side holes. It is designed to effectively suction fluids and debris from the patient’s airway. Suction Tubing: The suction tip is connected to a flexible suction tubing that allows for easy maneuverability and connection to the suction source. The tubing is typically transparent to enable visual inspection and monitoring of the suctioned material.
