Suction tubes for conventional and microscopic neurosurgery.

A set of suction tubes has been designed for both conventional neurosurgery done with the naked eye and microneurosurgery. All of the suction tubes have blunt, rounded tips that allow them to be used for manipulating tissue as well as for suction, and they are designed so that the surgeon's hand can rest comfortably on the wound margin while holding the tube in a pencil-type grip. The set includes the range of diameters needed for microsurgery and macrosurgery and the different lengths needed for superficial and deep intracranial and transsphenoidal operations.
