The utility model belongs to the technical field of
medical instruments, and particularly relates to a
sputum suction tube which comprises a hose used for stretching into the
respiratory tract of a patient to suck
sputum and a connecting joint arranged at the end, away from the free end, of the hose and used for connecting negative pressure extraction equipment and the hose, and a tube sleeve is arranged on the side, close to the connecting joint, of the hose. A protective shell forming a containing cavity with the hose is fixedly installed on the outer side of the hose, a traction
rope is arranged in the containing cavity, one end of the traction
rope is fixedly connected with the side, close to the free end of the hose, of the protective shell, and the other end of the traction
rope penetrates through the
pipe sleeve. Through the arrangement of the traction rope and the
pipe sleeve, an operator pulls one end of the traction rope to easily contract the portion, stretching into the
respiratory tract of a patient, of the hose from the stretching state to the compact state, then the hose is conveniently stuffed into the
pipe sleeve to be recycled, spattering of
sputum and secretions is effectively avoided, and compared with a traditional folding and wrapping method, the operation is simple, and the cost is low. Due to the design of the traction rope, the hose can be processed more simply and quickly.
