Suction Connecting Tube: This is a flexible tube that connects the suction source, such as a vacuum pump or wall suction, to the suctioning instrument, in this case, the Yankauer handle. It allows for the effective transfer of suction force to remove fluids and debris from the surgical site.

Yankauer Handle: The Yankauer handle is a rigid, hollow instrument that is attached to the suction connecting tube. It usually has a wider, open tip with multiple side holes or perforations. The handle is designed to be held by the healthcare provider during suctioning procedures.

Suctioning with Yankauer Handle: The Yankauer handle is commonly used in surgical and medical procedures to remove fluids and secretions from the patient's body. The handle is inserted into the surgical site or body cavity, and the suction is applied through the handle to remove unwanted materials effectively. The wide tip and side holes allow for efficient suction without damaging delicate tissues.

It's important to note that the Yankauer handle and suction connecting tube should be sterilized or used as single-use disposable items to prevent the risk of infection or cross-contamination between patients.
