Yankauer suction tip
The Yankauer suction tip (pronounced yang´kow-er)[1] is an oral suctioning tool used in medicine. It is a suction tip with a large opening surrounded by a bulbous head and is designed to allow effective suction without damaging surrounding tissue. This tool is used to suction oropharyngeal secretions in order to prevent aspiration
Developed circa 1907 by Dr. Charles Yankauer, the Yankauer Suction Instrument has become the most common suction instrument in the world.
