A serrated suction tip for tumor removal. Technical note.
A serrated suction tip with a variety of diameters and serrations has been developed for the microsurgical removal of tumors. These tips can dissect and aspirate tumor tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, or blood simultaneously, and the degree of suction can be controlled by the pressure of the tip against the tumor.
