An apparatus/kit for making a composite picture on a surface medium preferably includes such surface medium and pad-like applicators to apply color media to the surface medium forming respective symbols thereon creating the composite picture. The applicators preferably are padlike, being formed of paint, or other color media, holding pads mounted on a support structure or backing; the pads preferably are resilient and absorbent or adsorbent. The invention also embodies a method for creating a composite picture on a surface medium using such pad-like applicators to apply color media in selected symbol-like designs to selected areas of the surface medium. Such application may be in a form of free expression by the user or may follow a prescribed pattern furnished as part of the apparatus/kit. A symbol design sheet may be included in the apparatus/kit to enable a user conveniently to select desired symbols for respective applicators, thus minimizing creativity and decision-making processes when the invention is used. Predesigned symbols with adhesive backing may be used as applicators to be stuck onto a surface medium to complete composite pictures without the need for paint.

A system for backflushing an irrigation-aspiration handpiece tip includes a source of backflushing fluid, a syringe for injecting the fluid through an aspiration tube of an irrigation-aspiration handpiece, the aspiration tube of the handpiece being connected to an aspiration tube of the irrigation-aspiration handpiece tip, and a coupling device for connecting the syringe to the aspiration tube of the irrigation-aspiration handpiece. The coupling device includes an inlet end and an outlet end, a receptacle at the inlet end for receiving the syringe and a passageway extending between the receptacle and the outlet end for passage of the backflushing fluid. The outlet end of the coupling device connects to the aspiration tube to complete the connection between the syringe and the aspiration tube of the irrigation-aspiration handpiece.
