Abstract:
Leak-resistant Kits for releasably retaining a medical suction tube, e.g. a Yankauer Suction Instrument used to collect biological fluids during a medical procedure and method of use is described. The leak-resistant Kit comprises an apparatus that includes a leak proof solid bottom portion, a hollow cavity reservoir, and a top portion with a leak resistant flexible retaining disk. The flexible retaining disk functions to releasably hold, releasably retain or releasably restrict the undesired movement of a Yankauer Suction Instrument after being inserted into the disk. In addition, the flexible retaining disk functions as a splash guard for preventing biological fluids from being ejected from the reservoir. The leak-resistant Kit allows the user the ability to use one hand to manipulate a Yankauer Suction Instrument. Additionally, the apparatus fits onto a movable bracket that can also be used with one hand.

Claim (Index 11):
The retaining holster ( 5 ) of  claim 10 , wherein an outer wall ( 136 ) of the retaining holster ( 5 ) includes a fastener ( 20 ) for releasably coupling the retaining holster ( 5 ) to a holding station ( 35 ) before use or during use of the medical suction tube ( 16 ).
