The Most Popular Suction Tip in the Prehospital Setting

Yankauer Suction Tip

The most commonly used suction tip in the prehospital setting is the Yankauer suction tip. This suction tip is preferred due to its reliability, ease of use, and effectiveness in various applications.

The Whistle-tip suction catheter and the Flexible suction catheter are typically used for endotracheal suction, while the Rigid tonsil suction tip is usually employed for deeper suctioning needs like tonsillectomies. However, in the prehospital setting, the Yankauer suction tip stands out as the preferred choice.

The Yankauer suction tip is sturdy and rigid, specifically designed for oropharyngeal suctioning. Its reliability, simplicity, and versatility make it the go-to suction tip for prehospital professionals.
