ABSTRACT:
A body passage foreign body extracting device includes an elongated flexible tubular rod having a compressible bulb attached to its proximal end. The bulb is in fluid communication with the rod in order to pump air through the rod. In addition, an inflatable balloon is attached to a distal end of the tubular rod and is in fluid communication with the rod. The balloon is positioned and connected with the rod so as to receive the air from the bulb and, as a result, become inflated. The extractor also includes a hand grip which is used for holding the extractor, compressing the bulb and maintaining compression with one hand.
