Medical Suction Tubing 1.7m - Kink Resistant Clear Flexible Tubing for Clinical Suction Procedures
This medical suction tubing is a 1.7m kink resistant, clear flexible tube designed for reliable fluid flow and consistent suction performance in clinical settings.
The kink resistant construction prevents bending and collapse during use, maintaining uninterrupted suction flow throughout the procedure.
The clear tubing allows visual monitoring of fluid during treatment, and the standard connector compatibility makes it suitable for most medical suction units used in ENT, audiology, primary care and general clinical settings.

Frequently asked questions
What is medical suction tubing used for?
Medical suction tubing connects a suction unit to a suction instrument or tip, allowing fluid, wax, blood or debris to be safely removed from the patient during clinical procedures. It is used across a wide range of settings including ENT microsuction, ear irrigation, airway suction, wound care and dental procedures. The 1.7m length provides practical reach for flexible positioning around equipment and the patient.
What does kink resistant mean in suction tubing?
Kink resistant suction tubing is manufactured from a flexible medical grade material that resists bending and collapsing under pressure or when routed around equipment. Standard tubing can kink and block suction flow mid-procedure, which is disruptive and potentially unsafe. Kink resistant tubing maintains its internal diameter and flow rate throughout the procedure, even when bent or repositioned.
Is this suction tubing compatible with ENT microsuction units?
Yes. This 1.7m medical suction tubing is compatible with most medical suction units used in ENT and audiology microsuction settings. The standard connector ends fit the majority of clinical suction units and Frazier or Zoellner suction tube instruments. Always verify connector compatibility with your specific unit before use.
Is the suction tubing sterile?
This medical suction tubing is supplied non-sterile. It is intended for use with sterile suction instruments and tips at the patient end. Store in a clean, dry environment and follow your local infection control protocol for tubing management and replacement between patients.
What length is the suction tubing?
Each tube is 1.7 metres (170cm) in length. This provides practical reach for most clinical suction setups, allowing the suction unit to be positioned away from the patient while maintaining comfortable instrument handling. The flexible construction allows the tubing to be routed around equipment and clinical trolleys without restricting movement.
Can this tubing be used for ear irrigation?
Yes. This medical suction tubing is suitable for use with suction equipment used in ear irrigation and aural syringing procedures. It connects the suction unit to the irrigation or suction instrument, allowing fluid and wax to be safely removed from the ear canal. Always use appropriate ear irrigation instruments and follow your clinic’s ear care protocol.
What pack sizes are available?
This 1.7m medical suction tubing is available in packs of 5, 10, 25 and 50 tubes. Larger packs offer better value per unit and are ideal for high-volume clinical departments, busy ENT services and bulk stocking. Smaller packs suit single-practitioner use or lower-volume settings.
