Conodent Frazier Suction Tube (Model: CDT-F-362)

Premium 180 mm Surgical Aspiration Cannula – 4 mm Diameter (12 French)

Product Overview

The Conodent Frazier Suction Tube (Model: CDT-F-362) is a premium, mid-range surgical aspiration instrument engineered for high-efficiency fluid evacuation in narrow or deep operating fields. Featuring a 4 mm outer diameter (equivalent to 12 French), this model serves as the ideal versatile choice within the Conodent Frazier family.

It provides an engineered balance between the micro-precision of the 3 mm tube and the high-volume capacity of the 5 mm variant. This profile makes it highly effective for clearing mixed fluids, active bleeding, and moderate dental or bone slurry without blocking the clinician’s line of sight or compromising access to delicate anatomical structures.

Key Technical Specifications

Core Design Features & Clinical Benefits

• Optimized 12 French Fluid Dynamics: The 4 mm internal channel accommodates higher fluid velocities than micro-cannulas. It easily evacuates saline irrigation and blood clots while maintaining low enough suction turbulence to prevent localized tissue drawing.

• Ergonomic Vacuum Control Interrupter: Features a thumb-controlled finger cut-off valve at the proximal hub. This allows the surgical operator to modulate suction intensity smoothly in real time. Uncovering the vent instantly breaks the vacuum line, providing an immediate safety cutoff if nearby soft tissues or nerve bundles are approached.

• Rigid, Slender Profile: Forged from high-density Rostfrei stainless steel, the slender shaft resists flexing or bending under intentional lateral pressure. This structural integrity allows it to safely assist in light tissue deflection during deep wound exploration.

• Atraumatic Polished Bevel: The distal intake port is precisely finished with a smooth, rounded edge. This design shields fragile mucosa or exposed cortical boundaries from sharp mechanical irritation during high-stakes maneuvers.

• Mismatched Debris Stylet: Supplied with a dedicated wire stiletto that mirrors the 4 mm inner lumen. It can be passed instantly through the internal channel to clear caught bone splinters or dense coagula mid-procedure.

Primary Clinical Applications

The 4 mm profile provides wide clinical utility across several specialized surgical environments:

• Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: Excellent for managing blood pooling and maintaining clear fields during routine or complex extractions, surgical endodontics (apicoectomies), and mid-stage cyst enucleations.

• Periodontics & Implantology: Ideal for clearing saline cooling streams during osteotomy drill sequences and adapting cleanly to palatal or mandibular flap architectures.

• Otolaryngology (ENT): Well-suited for navigating moderate paths within the nasal passages or deep pharyngeal zones where a wider suction tip would obscure endoscope or headlight fields.

• Micro-Surgery & Orthopedics: Used to maintain clean surgical boundaries near spinal or intra-articular spaces requiring targeted, steady fluid aspiration.
