    Abstract: A compact extraoral suction passage tip to help protect a dentist from infectious materials. The compact extraoral suction passage tip is made of an internal suction passage. The proximal end can be slid into a High Volume Evacuator (HVE) valve or other suctioning device, and the distal end can be placed near a patient's mouth to collect infectious materials and placed in a position that will not significantly impede dental operations. The distal end is shaped so that it can lie on or near the upper portion of a patient's bottom lip to provide suction capability. One embodiment contains ridges to help patients know where to hold the compact extraoral suction passage tip.
