Abstract:
1. An anti-clog suction tip apparatus, comprising: (a) a suction tip, an interior of the suction tip defining a suction channel for the removal of debris through suction, and defining an ejection wire channel that extends alongside the suction channel; and (b) an ejection wire assembly that is removably attachable to the suction tip such that the ejection wire assembly extends within the ejection wire channel, and that is transitionable between a retracted position and an advanced position; (c) wherein, in the retracted position, the ejection wire assembly is disposed within the ejection wire channel of the suction tip, but the ejection wire assembly is not disposed within the suction channel; and (d) wherein, in the advanced position, a distal end portion of the ejection wire assembly extends from the ejection wire channel into the suction channel and through a suction opening of the suction tip to an exterior of the anti-clog suction tip apparatus (e) wherein the election wire assembly is inserted into the election wire channel through a wire insertion opening that is threaded.
