ABSTRACT:
A method for aspirating waste fluids from the floor of an operating room. A suction head may be placed on the floor and attached to an available negative pressure source. An elongated handle is selectively engageable with the suction head. The suction head can be selectively translated across the floor or lifted and moved to a pool of waste fluid with accuracy by using the handle. While this step is being done, the length of the elongated handle protects against contamination of the operator's limbs by the fluid falling from the surgical table. The handle is easily disengaged from the suction head when the suction head is positioned in a desirable location. The suction head suctions fluid under its bottom surface. Fluid falling on the top surface of the suction head is captured and directed through peripheral holes for aspiration beneath the suction head. Fluid suctioned through the suction head is then deposited safely in a waste collection chamber.
