Cardinal Health K73 - Frazier Suction Tip Precision-Controlled Surgical Suction, Sterile, Single-Use, 12 FR, 50/CS

Product Overview

The Cardinal Health K73 Frazier Suction Tip is a precision surgical suction device designed for controlled removal of fluids and debris during delicate procedures. Featuring the classic Frazier-style design, this suction tip includes a narrow, rigid tube and a thumb-controlled vent for adjustable suction power, offering enhanced precision in neurosurgery, ENT, orthopedic, and other microsurgical specialties.

This single-use, sterile suction tip promotes optimal visibility in the surgical field and is manufactured for consistent performance, reduced contamination risk, and easy handling by surgical teams.

Key Benefits

• Frazier-style design: Ideal for pinpoint suction in small or confined surgical fields.

• Thumb port control: Allows clinicians to modulate suction intensity in real time.

• Sterile and single-use: Supports infection control and eliminates the need for reprocessing.

• Rigid shaft construction: Maintains shape for accuracy during delicate procedures.

• Lightweight and ergonomic: Facilitates maneuverability and reduces hand fatigue during extended use.

Compatibility and Applications

The K73 Frazier Suction Tip is compatible with standard suction tubing and systems. It is commonly used in:

• Neurosurgery

• Otolaryngology (ENT procedures)

• Plastic and reconstructive surgery

• Orthopedic and spine procedures

• Pediatric surgeries and microsurgical environments

Its narrow lumen and controlled suction make it the tool of choice where precision and visibility are paramount.

Usage Guidelines

• Open package using sterile technique prior to procedure.

• Connect the base of the suction tip to compatible suction tubing.

• Control suction power via the thumb vent port during use.

• Dispose of after single use in accordance with regulated medical waste protocols.

• Do not resterilize or reuse.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

The Cardinal Health K73 Suction Tip complies with strict surgical instrument safety and quality standards:

• FDA Registered Class I medical device

• Sterile and latex-free for patient and clinician safety

• Manufactured in ISO 13485 certified facilities

• Compliant with AAMI and ANSI standards for surgical suction instruments

These standards ensure it meets the safety and performance expectations for use in critical surgical settings.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared to standard Yankauer or Poole suction tips, the K73 Frazier tip offers finer control in smaller, more delicate surgical spaces. The thumb port enables dynamic suction modulation, which is particularly beneficial in precision-focused surgeries. Its single-use design also eliminates cross-contamination risk and reduces staff workload related to cleaning and reprocessing.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

Used by:

• Surgeons (neuro, ENT, ortho, plastic)

• Operating room nurses and surgical technologists

• Hospital surgical teams and ambulatory surgery center staff

Common application scenarios:

• Hemostasis and debris removal during neurosurgery

• Suction during sinus or ear surgeries

• Plastic surgeries involving small, sensitive tissue areas

• Pediatric surgical procedures requiring controlled suction

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

• Use in a sterile surgical field only

• Always ensure secure connection to suction tubing

• Adjust thumb vent gradually to control negative pressure

• Dispose of immediately after use

• Keep replacement tips readily available in surgical setups

Regulatory and Safety Information

Individually packaged and clearly labeled with product ID, size, lot number, and expiration date, the K73 Suction Tip complies with institutional infection control and safety protocols. The product is single-use, sterile, non-pyrogenic, and latex-free.
