  • Patent number: 5743736
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a disposable saliva ejector (1) for suction of different fluids being present in a dental treatment. The saliva ejector (1) includes a number of stiff section members (10), a connection tube (12) and a suction screen (14). Using a ball-shaped portion in a first end and a corresponding cup-shaped cavity in a second end for connection of the different elements (10, 12 and 14), it is additionally possible by application of a certain minimum force to form the saliva ejector (1) into some desired bent shape before it is inserted into the mouth of a patient to be treated. A saliva ejector is effected which does not contain any further stiffening by metal and therefore a disposable saliva ejector is provided fabricated from only one material for simple destruction and possible recycling of the material.
