Description
A self-cleaning covered Yankauer suction tip is a rigid oral suction instrument designed to help keep the airway clear while supporting cleaner handling between uses. The integrated cover encloses the tip when not in active suctioning, helping limit environmental exposure and splash. As the tip is reinserted into the cover, a self-wiping action assists in removing visible fluids and debris, maintaining readiness for the next suction pass. Its contoured, easy-grip design aids control and comfort, while a smoothly finished distal profile supports gentle tissue contact.
