About Us
Frazier suction tips are indispensable tools in modern surgical practice, offering precise fluid management and tissue retraction. Choosing the correct size for specific procedures is critical to ensure surgical efficiency and patient safety. This guide provides a data-driven size chart and actionable selection criteria for global medical buyers.
Understanding Frazier Suction Tip Sizing
Frazier suction tips are categorized by French (Fr) gauge and length, with variations in design (e.g., side ports, curvature) tailored to anatomical needs. The table below summarizes common applications:
| Surgery Type | Recommended Size | French (Fr) | Length (cm) | Key Features |
| Otology (Ear) | #5 | 8-10 Fr | 4-6 cm | Short, fine tip for cerumen removal |
| Rhinoplasty | #7 | 12 Fr | 15 cm | Angled tip for nasal cavity access |
| Oral/ENT Surgery | #10 | 14 Fr | 20 cm | Atraumatic side ports to reduce trauma |
| Neurosurgery | #12 | 16 Fr | 25 cm | Reinforced shaft for deep suction |
| General Surgery | #14 | 18 Fr | 30 cm | High-flow design for abdominal use |
Note: 1 Fr ≈ 0.33 mm outer diameter. Sizes may vary slightly by manufacturer.
Key Factors in Tip Selection
1. Surgical Site Accessibility
Narrow cavities (e.g., ear canal) require shorter lengths (4-6 cm) and smaller diameters (8-10 Fr) .
Abdominal or thoracic surgeries benefit from longer tips (25-30 cm) with higher flow capacity .
2. Fluid Viscosity
High-viscosity fluids (e.g., blood clots) demand larger diameters (≥14 Fr) to prevent clogging .
3. Tissue Sensitivity
Atraumatic designs with side ports minimize mucosal damage in ENT procedures .
Why Trust Our Specifications?
Our sizing recommendations align with ISO 13485-certified manufacturing standards and real-world surgical protocols. For example:
#7 Frazier tips (12 Fr) are widely used in rhinoplasty due to their 15 cm length and 30° curvature, enabling precise suction under endoscopic guidance .
#10 tips (14 Fr) dominate oral surgeries, combining 20 cm reach with dual side ports for balanced pressure distribution .
