ABSTRACT:
A suction assembly for use in a surgical procedure. The assembly includes a plurality of suction head attachments. Each of the suction head attachments has a base segment, a tip segment and a suction conduit that extends through the base segment and the tip segment. The base segment of each of the suction head attachments has a common configuration. However, the tip segment of each of the suction head attachments has a unique configuration. The assembly also includes a single handle element. A coupling mechanism is disposed at a first end of the handle element. The coupling mechanism is adapted to selectively engage the base segment of any of the plurality of suction head attachments. The handle element also connects to a suction source. As the handle element connects to one of the suction head attachments, the handle element interconnects the suction head attachment to the suction source.
