Description
Neotech Products Little Sucker® (N225) is a premium, clinician-preferred suction device designed for single-handed oral and nasal suctioning, originally developed for NICU use. Its thumb-controlled suction port provides precise, intermittent control—allowing gentle yet effective airway clearance while keeping the other hand free for patient positioning and comfort.
The soft, flexible Standard Tip is engineered to minimize tissue trauma, making it safe for premature infants, neonates, and pediatric patients. The ergonomic, clear design supports confident visualization during suctioning.
