Abstract:
The aural suction device includes a rigid tubular handle, a flexible tube detachably connected to the tubular handle, and a safety stop adjustably secured to an outer surface of the flexible tube. The flexible tube can be inserted into the ear of a patient and the aural suction device can be connected to a suction source to remove liquid from the ear. The safety stop can be positioned on the flexible tube to limit a length of the flexible tube to be inserted into the ear. The length of the flexible tube inserted into the ear can be sufficient to provide appropriate suction without impacting the eardrum if the patient moves unexpectedly during the procedure.

An aural suction device, comprising:\n a tubular handle having first and second open ends and an opening between the first and second open ends; a flexible tube detachably connected to the first end of the tubular handle; and a safety stop adjustably secured to an outer surface of the flexible tube.
