ABSTRACT:
A surgical aspiration system includes aspirating equipment having an inlet through which a vacuum may be drawn for collecting bodily fluids during a surgical procedure. Suction tubing is connected to the aspirating equipment inlet and extends therefrom to a patient undergoing the surgical procedure. A suction catheter is attached to a distal end of the suction tubing for positioning within a portion of the patient's upper airway. A support for the suction tubing includes a normally horizontally disposed base which is adapted to fit beneath a patient-supporting mattress, and a bracket member extending vertically upwardly from the base. An aperture is provided through the bracket member in which a portion of the suction tubing is positioned. A pair of anchor slots are provided in the bracket member adjacent to the aperture, for pinching off a portion of the distal end of the surgical tubing to essentially stop the flow of fluid through the suction tubing. The aperture is constructed to include inwardly disposed teeth which permit insertion of the suction tubing into the aperture, but prevent withdrawal of the suction tubing from the aperture without destroying the utility of the suction tubing.
