About the Morse-Andrews Suction Tube
The Morse-Andrews suction tube is a named pattern of reusable metal surgical suction tube. Like other suction cannulas, it is a hand-held rigid tube connected to a suction source and used to aspirate blood, fluid and debris from a wound or operative site so the surgeon can see.
A distinctive point in registry listings is that the pattern is supplied as separate parts: several makers list Morse-Andrews tips on their own or as replacement tips, in different diameters and lengths, which suggests a handle-and-tip design rather than a single fixed tube.
Tip sizes and lengths differ between manufacturers.
