Day-Bailes tapered locking suction tube system - recommended.
Pros: I particularly like this suction system which we have been using for around two years. It balances well in the hand, is malleable and is good for doing precise work.
The scrub nurse can switch the cannulas pretty fast and there is a wide range of sizes.
Cons: One needs to get used to the extra stuff that sits on the web space. This may not be so useful for extra dural work.
Downtime/Repairs: None so far
Institute where it was used: Jipmer, Pondicherry.
Price: Around INR 30 k.
Vendor's website: http://www.mizuho.com/day-bailes-locking-suction-tubes
Specifications( if you need to put in a tender)
Balanced handpiece (Flat teardrop suction handle with safety coupling and suction tube handle) which can be kept between thumb and forefinger space for a attaching a range of suction cannulas.
Balanced handpiece (Flat teardrop suction handle with safety coupling cannulas) should be of the following sizes (3 to 12 french, each in following lengths - Short: 7.6 cm Medium: 9.5 cm Long: 11.4 cm Extra long: 13.3 cm. Also multihole tube type each 5, 7 and 9 french (all suction cannulas [43 numbers] should preferably come in its own case). The suction cannulas have to be pre-bent 30 degrees, malleable and rotatable and should have the ability to change tubes without discarding hand piece.
Recommendation levels possible: Highly recommeded, Recommended, Not recommended.
Conflict of interests/disclosures: none.
