  • Patent number: 7144416
    Abstract: Described is a sucking device with a sucking body as well as a shaft, whereby the sucking body is equipped with a recess extending in longitudinal direction of the sucking device. Said sucking device is designed in such manner that the recess, seen in longitudinal section, terminates essentially flat toward the anterior free end of the sucking body. The recess preferably extends essentially over the entire length of the sucking body. In sectional view, the shaft preferably presents an angulated shape. From a jaw-orthopedic aspect, this sucking device proves itself as particularly beneficial, whereby it simultaneously stimulates the baby/small child to uniform sucking and/or serves for position of repose.
