Self-Cleaning Covered Yankauer Suction Tip

Description

The Avanos Ballard self-cleaning covered Yankauer is an oral/oropharyngeal suction instrument designed to support routine and emergent airway care while helping limit exposure to secretions. Its integrated PEEP Seal self-cleaning mechanism wipes secretions and debris from the shaft after suctioning, keeping the instrument drier and cleaner between uses. A protective sleeve further helps reduce cross-contamination risk during multi-patient-care environments where appropriate protocols are followed.
