Abstract

A suction device includes an elongated suction tube having a suction tip at a distal end thereof, and a proximal end that is connectable to a suction source. A collar is slidable along the suction tube from a retracted position to a deployed position. A sleeve is provided having a proximal end fixed relative to the proximal end of the suction tube, and a distal end configured with the collar so as to move therewith and cover the suction tube in the deployed position of the collar. A wiper seal is contained within collar in sliding frictional engagement around the suction tube.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to medical suction devices known in the prior art as "Yankee" type. These devices are commonly used to provide suction when performing oral care or other critical patient care procedures. Background technique [0002] A variety of healthcare procedures require suctioning of a patient's mouth. Traditional suctioning is performed on an intubated patient during an oral care procedure. For this purpose, Yankee suction devices are widely known, which have an elongated suction tube which is connectable at one end to a suction source. The other end includes a suction head with one or more suction holes, which is placed in the patient's mouth. Conventional devices suction well and are relatively rigid allowing the clinician to reach remote areas of the mouth that require suction. [0003] Conventional installations are concerned with cleanliness and the risk of contamination. The period of use of the suction device will typic...
