Self-Cleaning Frazier Suction Tips: Sizes, Lengths and How ChicagoTip Works

Frazier suction is widely used when a narrow, precise suction instrument is needed. Clogging can interrupt that workflow. ChicagoTip™ was developed as a disposable self-cleaning Frazier-style suction that integrates the clog-clearing mechanism into the device.

How the self-cleaning mechanism works

Inside ChicagoTip is a retractable stylet aligned with the suction pathway. If material obstructs the lumen, the user can move the stylet through the pathway to dislodge the obstruction without removing the suction from its tubing connection.

Available Frazier sizes

• 9 Fr — CT209; Long version CT209L

• 10 Fr — CT210; Long version CT210L

• 12 Fr — CT212; Long version CT212L

• 14 Fr — CT214; Long version CT214L

Standard versus Long

The Standard ChicagoTip Frazier is 16 cm long. The Long version is 20 cm. The additional reach is intended for procedures where the operative corridor is deeper, including applications in spine surgery where longer access may be useful.

Stainless steel tip and disposable construction

ChicagoTip Frazier uses a stainless steel distal tip rather than an aluminum tip. Neuro Enterprises highlights the stainless steel tip for durability and resistance to chipping when working around other surgical instruments. The device is supplied as a disposable, single-use suction.
