    Abstract: A device for removing fluids and solid substances by suction from the mouth and oral cavity area during dental-medical treatments is provided. The device includes a first tube segment, a first end of which can be charged with low air pressure, and to the second end of which a sleeve-like ejector tip is attached. By a relative movement of the ejector tip on the tube segment, the ejector tip can be alternated between a first suctioning position and a second suctioning position. In the second suctioning position, only the opening on the upper front side of the second end of the tube segment functions as a suction opening to allow point-focused suctioning with high suction force. In contrast thereto, in the first suctioning position, a plurality of additional suction openings is provided around the circumference to remove fluids from the mouth and oral cavity area by suction. Thus, it is possible to alternate between both suctioning positions without having to disassemble the saliva ejector.
