What is a Yankauer Suction Tip?
A Yankauer Suction Tip is a medical device used to clear the oral cavity and upper airway of blood, saliva, or other fluids. This device can also be used to clear an operative site during a surgical procedure. The suctioned volume is then typically counted as blood loss during the surgery.
The design of the device allows for efficient suctioning while minimizing trauma to tissues.
The suction tip is a disposable, single-use instrument that consists of three components: a Yankauer handle, connecting tube, and connectors. The suction tip is a rigid plastic suction catheter and is available as a crown tip, flat tip, or bulb tip, with or without a vent. The tip is attached to a connection tubing through a connector. Connectors are available in three styles: short, long, and trumpet and the tubing is available in a variety of sizes.
Yankauer Suction Tips are manufactured by AdvaCare Pharma in facilities located in China, India, and the USA. These factories strictly adhere to the rigorous regulations required for CE/ISO certification, ensuring our medical products' highest quality, safety, and efficiency.

Crown
Crown tips feature a crown shape that facilitates effective suctioning and fluid removal during medical procedures. The tip is made of a clear and soft, non-toxic PVC material.
The yankauer crown-shaped suction tips are disposable and sterile and are intended for single use to maintain a high level of hygiene and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Flat
Flat tips feature a plain, straight shape that facilitates effective suctioning and fluid removal during medical procedures. The tip is made of a clear and soft, non-toxic PVC material.
The Yankauer flat-tipped suction tips are disposable and sterile, and are intended for single use to maintain a high level of hygiene and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Bulb Tip With Vent
Bulb Tip With Vent features a Yankauer handle with a small vent hole that creates suction when blocked by a thumb, allowing for easy suction control. This design provides healthcare professionals with precise control over suctioning and ensures optimal performance. The bulb tip with a vent is made from high-quality materials, making it a reliable and effective tool for suctioning in clinical settings.
Bulb Tip Without Vent
Bulb Tip Without Vent features a non-vented Yankauer handle. This design does not rely on blocking or unblocking a vent hole to control suction. The absence of a vent allows for continuous and uninterrupted suction during medical procedures. The bulb tip without a vent is made from high-quality materials, making it a reliable and effective tool for suctioning in various clinical settings.
Short
Short connector is a universal female connector designed to securely connect the Yankauer handle to suction tubing. The short length ensures a compact and efficient connection between the handle and tubing. It is manufactured from high-quality polypropylene (PP), which is known for its durability and reliability.
The short connector is intended for single use and is a latex-free product, which is suitable for individuals with latex allergies.
Long
Long connector is a universal female connector designed to securely connect the Yankauer handle to suction tubing. The long length provides extended reach and flexibility during suction procedures. It is manufactured from high-quality polypropylene (PP), which is known for its durability and reliability.
The long connector is intended for single use and is a latex-free product, which is suitable for individuals with latex allergies.
Trumpet
Trumpet connector is a universal female connector designed to securely connect the Yankauer handle to suction tubing. The unique trumpet shape allows for efficient suctioning by optimizing airflow and reducing clogging. It is manufactured from high-quality polypropylene (PP), which is known for its durability and reliability.
The trumpet connector is intended for single use and is a latex-free product, which is suitable for individuals with latex allergies.
Yankauer Handle
Yankauer Handle is the main component of the suction instrument that is held by the doctor. It is manufactured from a rigid plastic material. The handle features a specialized tip that is inserted into the patient's mouth or nose to effectively remove fluids and secretions, which helps ensure a clear airway for the patient.
Connecting tube
Connecting Tube is a flexible tube that is attached to the suction tip at one end and to a suction source, such as a vacuum pump, at the other end. The transparent material the tube is made from of the tube allows healthcare providers to easily monitor the flow of fluid during the suctioning process, which helps to ensure the effective and efficient removal of secretions and fluids.
Connectors
Connectors are plastic components that are used to connect the connecting tube to the suction source. Connectors are available in different variations, including long, short, or trumpet, in order to accommodate different suction equipment and facilitate a seamless suctioning workflow. The appropriate connector type helps to facilitate a smooth and uninterrupted suctioning workflow, ensuring optimal performance during medical procedures.
