ChicagoTip™ Yankauer | Self-Cleaning Surgical Suction Designed to Reduce Clogging

ChicagoTip™ Yankauer is a disposable self-cleaning surgical suction from Neuro Enterprises designed to reduce clogging compared with conventional suction devices. If an obstruction occurs, its integrated clearing mechanism is designed to clear the suction pathway without disconnecting the device from suction tubing.

Self-cleaning Yankauer suction

Yankauer suction is used across a wide range of surgical applications. Clogging can interrupt suction and require the device to be cleared or exchanged. ChicagoTip incorporates the clearing function into the suction itself so an obstruction can be addressed while the device remains connected.

Designed to clog less often

ChicagoTip Yankauer is designed to clog less often than conventional suction devices and to clear an obstruction when it occurs. That is why the product is relevant to searches such as ‘self-cleaning Yankauer,’ ‘anti-clog Yankauer suction,’ and ‘suction device that doesn’t clog’ in the practical surgical sense.

How the clearing mechanism supports workflow

When debris obstructs the suction pathway, the integrated mechanism is designed to clear the obstruction without requiring the suction to be disconnected from the tubing. This reduces the need to interrupt a case solely to manually unclog or replace a conventional suction device.
