  • Patent number: 4187849
    Abstract: A device for performing suction curettage procedures includes a housing having at least one port formed therein through which the interior of the housing communicates with a source of suction. A selectively positionable suction tube support member is mounted in the housing and has a plurality of tube support bores of different diameters formed therein adapted to be selectively aligned between the port and a diametrically opposed opening in the housing. Each of the bores is adapted to receive at least one differently sized suction tube therein through the housing opening so that different tubes may be selectively connected to the housing and the source of suction. In the preferred embodiment of the invention at least a portion of each of the housing bores are tapered so that at least two differently sized suction tubes can be mounted in each bore.
