Yankaur

A Yankauer suction tip, also known as a tonsil tip or oral suction tip, is a medical device used for oral suctioning in healthcare settings. It is commonly employed in hospitals, clinics, and surgical environments to remove fluids and debris from the oral cavity during procedures or for patients who have difficulty clearing their own secretions.

The Yankauer suction tip is typically made of rigid plastic and consists of a hollow, curved tube with a bulbous head at the end. The head features multiple side openings or fenestrations, allowing for efficient suction of fluids while minimizing the risk of tissue trauma. The tube connects to a suction tubing system, which is attached to a suction source such as a suction machine or wall-mounted suction unit.
