Adson Suction Cannula

## Overview

The Adson Suction Cannula is a Adson suction cannula used to aspirate blood, fluids and secretions from the operative field. It carries the Adson pattern, a named instrument pattern within the suction instruments range. This listing represents the complete Adson Suction Cannula product family, offered as a configurable range of variations that share a common design and differ in defined, printed characteristics. It is classified under Suction Instruments › Suction Cannula and is intended for use by trained surgical and clinical personnel. All specifications below are taken directly from the manufacturer catalog; characteristics that are not stated in the catalog are omitted rather than assumed.

## Instrument Class and Clinical Role

Suction cannulae are connected to a vacuum source and used to aspirate blood, irrigation fluid and secretions from the operative field, maintaining a clear and dry field so that anatomy remains visible throughout dissection and closure. The geometry of the working tip and the internal bore govern how fluid is drawn from the field and how readily the tip can be positioned in confined spaces. Instruments of this class are selected by working length, diameter and tip form.

## Pattern and Identification

This instrument is supplied in the Adson pattern. Within a surgical inventory, the pattern name together with the Aesculap catalog reference number uniquely identifies the item, which supports accurate reordering and standardisation across a department. Every variation in this family is listed with its own catalog reference so that a specific configuration can be ordered without ambiguity.

## Design and Configuration

Available length options are 155 mm and 190 mm. The available lengths allow the instrument to be matched to the working depth of the operative field. All items in this listing share a olive tip.

## Configuration Options

This is a configurable (variable) product. A specific item is selected by choosing from the available length options listed above; the family comprises 2 variations in total. The individual configurations are: Adson Suction Cannula, 155 mm (reference GF918R); Adson Suction Cannula, 190 mm (reference GF917R). Each configuration maps to a unique Aesculap catalog reference so that the exact item can be ordered without ambiguity.

## Technical Specifications

The following specifications are recorded for this listing. Pattern / Eponym: Adson. Instrument Type: Suction Cannula. Category: Suction Instruments. Subcategory: Suction Cannula. Tip: olive. Available Length: 155 mm and 190 mm. Variation Count: 2. Family ID: FAM-000061.

## Applications

Consistent with its design as a Adson suction cannula used to aspirate blood, fluids and secretions from the operative field, the Adson Suction Cannula is applied in surgical procedures. The scope described here is limited to the definitional function of the instrument class; the specific procedures, techniques and patient selection for which the instrument is appropriate are a matter of clinical judgement and institutional protocol and should be determined by the operating clinician. No performance, outcome or suitability claims are made beyond the instrument’s stated design.

## Material, Finish and Reprocessing

The manufacturer catalog data underlying this listing does not state the material, surface finish or reprocessing parameters for the item, and these are therefore not asserted here. Confirm material specifications, compatibility and validated reprocessing instructions with the supplier or manufacturer documentation before purchase or use.

## Procurement and Standardisation

Because every item is identified by a stable Aesculap catalog reference number, this listing supports consistent reordering and inventory standardisation across an operating department. Recording the pattern name together with the reference number allows procurement teams to match replacement stock to instruments already in service and to compare like-for-like items between suppliers. Availability, minimum order requirements and lead times are confirmed on inquiry.

## Ordering and Procurement

This product is available in multiple configurations; refer to the individual variations for exact specifications and catalog reference numbers. Pricing is not published on this platform, which operates on an inquiry (request-a-quote) basis. To proceed, request a quote or send an inquiry and our team will confirm current availability, the exact configuration and lead times. This listing is intended for hospitals, surgical centers, procurement teams, distributors and dealers.
