Abstract: An apparatus comprising: (a) a proximal tube having a proximal portion connectable to a suction apparatus, and having at least two channels extending distally along respective longitudinal axes from the proximal portion and being in fluid communication from the proximal portion; and (b) two or more formable or rigid hollow distal tubes, each terminating in a porous extraction port, each of the distal tubes having a proximal section configured to be retained in a respective one of the channels of the proximal tube, wherein the distal tubes are in fluid communication with the proximal portion of the proximal tube when retained in the proximal channels of the proximal tube. Each porous extraction port is sized for placement within a buccal sulcus or a lingual sulcus of a subject and, wherein each porous extraction port comprises a central lumen in fluid communication with a respective distal tube.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus adapted for ejection of material, e.g., saliva, from the mouth of a patient during a dental procedure. The apparatus has at least two distal openings such that material may be ejected simultaneously from at least two locations within the patient's mouth. The invention provides a suction apparatus having a proximal tube, which may couple with a standard waste container apparatus having a suction source.
