Abstract:
A deformable disposable high volume aspirator comprising a flexible conduit for the transmission of aspirated fluids, a means for selectively deforming said flexible conduit, a means for diffusing suction during high volume aspiration, and a means for connecting said flexible conduit to a vacuum valve. The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an aspirator that is disposable having a flexible deformable conduit member with a malleable metal wire that may be selectively shaped to fit into a patient's mouth whereupon a source of vacuum having been connected to a distal end by means of a connection member and a suction tip on the other distal end can remove a large volume of matter from a patient mouth without lodging onto a patient's cheek or gums that may cause discomfort. The suction tip has a plurality of furcations and a central structure member forming apertures within the suction tip.
