Abstract: A suction swab includes a suction tube having a hollow body provided with first and second open end portions and a bend portion. The hollow body includes a transverse bore arranged proximate to the second end which defines first and second openings. The resilient tip includes a main body having a first end section, a second end section and first and second opposing side sections and a central passage. The central passage extends through the main body and is open at each of the first and second end sections so as to define a first aperture arranged at the first end section and a second aperture arranged at the second end section. The resilient tip also includes a transverse passage that extends between one of the first and second opposing side sections and the central passage defining third and fourth openings which are smaller than the first and second openings.
