Yankauer’s Suction Cannulas are rigid surgical suction instruments designed primarily to clear blood,

saliva, and other fluids from the surgical site to maintain a clear field of vision. They are widely used in

general surgery, dental procedures, and emergency settings. The cannula features a bulbous, curved tip

with multiple suction holes to maximize fluid removal while minimizing tissue damage.
