Abstract
A bifurcated surgical tubing device includes a first tube with an end couplable to a suction canister inlet port and the other end coupled to a trunk portion of a bifurcated, Y-shaped connector having a first branch portion and a second branch portion. A second tube has an end coupled to the first branch; and a third tube having an end coupled to the second branch. The other ends of the second and third tube are couplable to surgical suction devices. A surgical suction supply kit includes a sterile sealed package containing the bifurcated surgical tubing device and flow control valves. The tubing replaces multiple individual suction tubes, saving time and money during surgeries and producing better outcomes for patients.
