ABSTRACT:
A filtering suction nozzle particularly adapted for use in connection with a dental or medical suction system. The nozzle is suited for use as a high speed suction tip and/or a saliva ejector formed of an elongate tube defining a fluid flow path therethrough. Filtering means are arranged within the tube in the flow path of any fluid passing therethrough, and coupling means are arranged at one end of the tube to connect the tube to a suction line from a suction source. The tube may be formed with flexible pleats to facilitate bending. According to the method of the invention, filtering means are arranged in the flow path of any existing suction nozzles to thereby reduce debris collection in the suction system and minimize possible patient infection from previously collected debris.
