Suction tube

        A suction tube is a medical instrument used for removing fluids or secretions from body cavities. It consists of a thin, flexible tube with one end connected to a vacuum source and the other end inserted into the body cavity. The vacuum creates suction, which draws the fluid or secretions out of the body and into a collection container. Suction tubes are commonly used during surgical procedures, as well as in the management of various medical conditions such as pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and pulmonary edema. They may also be used in emergency situations, such as the removal of blood or vomit from the airway.
