Poole suction tube

Suction & exploration

Poole suction tube

Poole suction tube

THE FIRST VIVA QUESTION

What is its use?

Aspirates larger volumes of fluid while the guard distributes suction openings.

Explore the photo before the answer. Zoom into the jaws, inspect the locking mechanism and compare the available reference views.

01 / IDENTIFICATION

How to recognise it.

  1. Large suction tube with an outer guard.
  2. Multiple perforations in the guard.
  3. A connector attaches to suction tubing.
Don’t confuse it with…

Frazier provides focused fine suction; Poole is designed for broader fluid removal.

02 / PARTS

Name the parts.

Point to each part on your specimen as you say its name.

  1. Inner suction tube
  2. Perforated outer guard
  3. Tip
  4. Tubing connector
03 / VIVA PRACTICE

Think first. Then reveal.

Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.

01Why are there multiple openings?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

They spread fluid entry across the guard and reduce focal tissue pickup.

02Does it generate suction independently?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

No. It connects to a suction source.
