ABSTRACT:
A large diameter medical suctioning system for rapid evacuation of fluid foreign matter from patients using an increased diameter suction tube and a variable diameter suction tip. The variable diameter suction tip is expandable to a diameter of between 3/8 of an inch and 2 inches. The suction tube and connections thereto have a correspondingly increased diameter that provides an evacuation rate at least 10 times faster than the rate of evacuation using conventional suction systems. Additionally, the variable diameter suction tip is capable of performing the functions of a conventional suction tip by reducing the diameter of the variable diameter suction tip. The large diameter suctioning system is configured for connection to the pour spout of a suction canister to assure compatibility with existing medical vacuum systems.
