ABSTRACT:
A suction adapter is provided for use with an absorbent roll holder, and particularly for providing suction to hollow absorbent rolls supported by the roll holder within the mouth of a patient. In one embodiment, the suction adapter includes a body having an outwardly opening slot formed therein for removable engagement with the frame of the roll holder, which in one specific embodiment is a Garmers type device. The body further includes a pair of passages formed therethrough, one end of the passages opening in suction orifices at one face of the body and the other end of the passages opening in tube attachment bores at another face of the body. The suction orifices are arranged for fluid communication with a vacuum source by application of the suction hose to the one face of the body surrounding the suction orifices. The tube attachment bores are sized to receive one end of suction tubes, which tubes are adapted to engage the central lumen of the hollow absorbent rolls supported by the Garmers device. In another embodiment, the suction tubes are combined in a suction adaptor tube. A slide collar is disposed around the suction tubes to adjust the configuration of the tubes within the patient's mouth.
