Yankauer is a suction set used for the removal of blood and uids during surgery.
Yankauer Suction set is used for general suction purpose as well. It has a rigid transparent suction handle available with bulb/plain open tip. It is obtainable with and without control vents. The suction catheter is curved for easy access.
Commonly used to prevent aspiration, the Yankauer tip is also used to clear the airway during dental and medical surgeries—including, of course, the surgery for which the tip was originally developed: the tonsillectomy
