Description
The Neotech Little Sucker Suction Device (Standard, N205C) is designed for efficient, single-handed oral and nasal suctioning in neonatal and pediatric patients. Featuring a thumb port for intermittent suction control, it allows clinicians to manage suction precisely while keeping the other hand free for patient care. The soft, flexible tip helps minimize tissue trauma while supporting effective secretion removal, and the clear construction provides visibility during use.
