Universal length suction tubes

Description:

This model of Audio Technologies suction tube is unique and it's made by:

• Ergonomic reusable handpiece

• Disposable tubes (extensible and replaceable)

• Extensible/Shortable length during the surgery  

• Malleable inox steel tube

• Audio Technologies patent 

The tubes are available in 2 versions:

- Standard tubes

- "Ianus" tube with double tip (Joseph & Cottle)

Assembling the reusable handpiece with the sterile single-use cannula you get a malleable and extensible suction tube.

Thanks to its ergonomic shape, the handpiece can be held between the thumb and the middle finger, providing an exceptionally tight and comfortable grip.

Once the suction tube is set at the desired length, it can be blocked in the handpiece with the stainless steel screw.

The suction tubes are available in three diameters:
2.5 - 3.0 - 3.5 mm which can be assembled to the handpieces of the same diameter.

The single use suction tubes are made of malleable stainless steel and can be easily angulated with the hands during the surgery. The tubes are not reusable.

Each handpiece can be resterilized and is packaged individually.

Standard tube (with atraumatic tip)

The tube is in malleable stainless steel, therefore it can be angulated. The tube can be extended from 0 to 180 mm. The tip is atraumatic and available in several diameters, each of them matches with the handpiece of the same diameter.

Ianus tube (Cottle and Joseph tips)

Ianus tubes have double terminals, sterile, disposable and assemblable to the ergonomic reusable handpiece.

The suction tube has 2 different tips at the 2 edges:
The tip on the first edge is a Cottle-type and it is sharpened. It should be used only to work on the under-perichon-drial area in the first dethatching phase of the anterior part of the nasal septum, and pre-maxilla. Don’t use the suction tube for the surgery steps after the detachment phase since the sharpened tip can cut the mucosa.

• 1 Cottle tip and 1 Joseph tip at the edges of the tube 

• Ergonomic reusable handpiece

• Disposable tube (extensible and replaceable)

• Extensible length which can be adjusted during the surgery 

• Malleable stainless steel tube 

• Audio Technologies patent

Thanks to the adjustable tube, it’s possible to reach a very short length, allowing the surgeon to operate with an ex-treme precision. This tool greatly easies the early stages of the surgical septoplasty and/or septo-rhinoplasty, when the surgeon has to detach the pericondrium of the caudal septum, the mucosa of the nasal spine and the pre-maxilla to locate the entrance of the lower tunnels (left and right).
To detach the septum mucosa in the left nostril, the tube of the aspirator-detacher should be rotated with the suction side facing the cartilage. To detach septum mucosa in the right nostril, it’s possible to rotate the tube of 180°, with the suction side facing the cartilage. To detach the “magic field” and the entrance to the lower tunnels, the aspi-rator tube can be rotated of 90° with the suction side facing towards the bone surface.

The tip of the second edge is a Joseph atraumatic type, for the detaching of the tunnels, the undercut areas due to nasal septum deviations and to cut or detach the septum cartilage from the vomer and from the perpendicular plate of ethmoid.

* The length extensions are approximate since might slightly change if using Cottle or Joseph-like tip.
