Conodent Frazier Suction Tube (Model: CDT-F-363)

Premium 180 mm Surgical Aspiration Cannula – 5 mm Diameter (15 French)

Product Overview

The Conodent Frazier Suction Tube (Model: CDT-F-363) is a heavy-duty, premium surgical aspiration instrument designed for high-capacity fluid and debris clearance in deep, narrow, or highly restricted operating fields. While maintaining the standard 180 mm (7-inch) profile favored by specialists for its balancing and reach, the CDT-F-363 features an expanded 5 mm (15 French) outer diameter.

Engineered specifically for clinical scenarios where standard micro-suction tips would instantly clog, this model provides the high-volume fluid dynamics required to clear dense blood clots, thick surgical exudate, bone fragments, and heavy saline irrigation. It bridges the gap between delicate micro-suction and bulky, vision-blocking surgical aspirators, providing high-flow evacuation without sacrificing the clinician’s line of sight.

Key Technical Specifications

Core Design Features & Ergonomic Excellence

• High-Flow 15 French Internal Lumen: The 5 mm bore drastically reduces friction and narrow-channel fluid resistance. This allows for the immediate, unhindered transit of viscous liquids, tissue debris, and tooth/bone particles generated during drilling or grafting.

• Integrated Finger Cut-Off Valve: Positioned ergonomically at the proximal base of the handle, this thumb-controlled vent gives the operator absolute, real-time control over vacuum pressure. Covering the hole delivers maximum suction to clear heavy pooling, while uncovering it vents the line instantly to prevent accidental damage to delicate tissue walls.

• Rigid, Double-Duty Shaft: Crafted from high-tensile, medical-grade stainless steel, the shaft maintains its exact 35-degree bend under stress. The added structural thickness of the 5 mm profile allows the tube to safely double as a minor flap or soft-tissue retractor when operating in tight spaces.

• Atraumatic Distal Tip: To combat the increased vacuum force of a 5 mm opening, the distal tip is meticulously machined with a smooth, perfectly rounded, and high-polished edge. This prevents localized tissue drawing and minimizes mucosal bruising.

• Custom-Fitted Cleaning Stylet: Each instrument comes paired with a durable, reusable wire cleaning stiletto. If bone chips or dense debris lodge in the shaft mid-procedure, the stylet can be quickly inserted through the rear of the tube to restore immediate patency.

Advanced Clinical Applications

Owing to its heavy-duty fluid management capabilities, the Conodent CDT-F-363 is widely utilized across specialized surgical environments:

• Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: Crucial for managing high-volume bleeding and clearing bone slurry during impacted third molar extractions, cyst enucleations, sagitall split osteotomies, and advanced alveolar ridge reconstructions.

• Implantology & Periodontal Flap Surgery: Ideal for rapidly evacuating cooling irrigation fluid during heavy implant site preparation and clearing localized blood pooling before placing bone grafts or sinus lift membranes.

• Otolaryngology (ENT) & Sinus Surgery: Perfect for navigating and clearing thick mucous plug networks, heavy clots, or fungal debris from the nasal cavities, frontal sinuses, or deep pharyngeal regions.

• Emergency & Trauma Surgery: Acts as a rapid-response tool to clear localized, deep-tissue trauma fields where visibility is instantly compromised by active bleeding.

Clinical Maintenance & Reprocessing Guidelines

Critical Pre-Cleaning: Because the 5 mm inner channel carries heavy debris, always flush the internal lumen with an enzymatic cleaning solution immediately following the procedure. Do not allow bioburden, blood, or bone slurry to dry inside the shaft.

Sterilization Protocol: Use the included stylet to verify the channel is clear of debris before packing. The instrument is fully compatible with standardized medical steam sterilization. Autoclave using pre-vacuum steam cycles at $132^\circ\text{C}$ ($270^\circ\text{F}$) for a minimum of 4 minutes, or according to your clinical facility’s specific infection control directives. Highly resistant to repeated cycles without rusting, tarnishing, or structural degradation.
