Abstract
A dental suction tool has a disposable sanitary plastic suction tip to prevent cross contamination from one patient to the next. Additionally, a light source such as a fiberoptic bundle with or without a ring light is provided on the interior of the dental suction tool to provide light to the end of the plastic disposable suction tip. Illumination from the ring light or directly from the fiberoptic bundle is transmitted along the length of the suction tip and is emitted from the end thereof to illuminate the oral cavity during dental procedures.
Claims (13)
1. A suction tip for use in a dental suction tool comprising a material capable of transmitting 1 fight along the length thereof and formed as a generally cylindrical hollow tubing, a first end of the suction tool having at least one axial slot therein so that the suction tip can be secured in the dental suction tool.
2. The suction tip of claim 1 wherein an interior shoulder is provided at the first end of the hollow tubing such that the interior shoulder can engage a cooperative assembly in the valve body to secure the suction tip onto the valve body.
3. A suction tip for use in a dental suction tool comprising a material capable of transmitting light along the length thereof and formed as a generally cylindrical hollow tubing, a first end of the suction tool having a plurality of axial slots therein forming a plurality of flexible fingers so that the suction tip can be secured in the dental suction tool.
4. The suction tip of claim 3 wherein an interior shoulder is provided on each finger at the first end of the hollow tubing such that the interior shoulder can engage a cooperative assembly in the valve body to secure the suction tip onto the valve body.
5. A suction tip for use in a dental suction tool comprising a plastic material formed as a generally cylindrical hollow tubing, one end of the suction tip having at least one beveled section formed in an outer wall surface of the suction tip so that the suction tip can be properly aligned in the dental suction tool,
6. A suction tip for use in a dental suction tool comprising a plastic material formed as a generally cylindrical hollow tubing, one end of the suction tip having at least one recess formed in an outer wall surface of the suction tip so that the suction tip can be properly aligned in the dental suction tool.
7. The suction tip of claim 6 in which a plurality of recesses are provided circumferentially around the perimeter of the suction tip.
8. The suction tip of claim 6 in which a plurality of recesses are provided circumferentially and equally spaced around the perimeter of the suction tip.
9. The suction tip of claim 6 in which the suction tip comprises a single layer of light transmitting material.
10. A suction tip for use in a dental suction tool comprising a plastic material formed as a generally cylindrical hollow tubing, one end of the suction tip having at least one recess formed in an outer wall surface of the suction tip so that the suction tip can be properly aligned in the dental suction tool, the suction tip further comprising an inner layer of light transmitting material and an outer layer of opaque material.
11. The suction tip of claim 10 in which the outer layer is a coating applied to the inner layer.
12. A suction tip for use in a dental suction tool comprising a plastic material formed as a generally cylindrical hollow tubing, one end of the suction tip having at least one beveled section formed in an outer wall surface of the suction tip so that the suction tip can be properly aligned in the dental suction tool, the suction tip further comprising an inner layer of light transmitting material and an outer layer of opaque material.
13. The suction tip of claim 12 in which the outer layer is a coating applied to the inner layer.
