Baron Ear Suction Tip 5Fr 5.125"
This is small sized suction tip is used to provide suction within narrow spaces (originally designed for use in the ear). The suction is controlled by covering the small opening located on the thumb plate proximal to the handle. The size of the suction tube is indicated by the French measurement scale (three times the diameter in millimeters). The instrument is angled slightly to avoid obstructing the view of the area being suctioned by the surgeon's hand. This suction tip is used during orbital dissection where space does not allow for the use of a larger suction tip. Unlike with the Frazier, there is no stylet for this suction.
