  • Tip for dental aspirator
    Patent number: 4265621
    Abstract: A removable protective tip for placement over the outer end of a dental aspirator. The tip includes a cylindrical sleeve that frictionally fits over the walls of the aspirator end, and an integral open mesh screen extending across one end of the sleeve in a plane complementary to the outer edge of the aspirator. Side vents are provided immediately adjacent the screen. The tip prevents larger objects from being drawn into the aspirator assembly and also prevents the aspirator from grasping soft tissue in the mouth.
