FLUID EVACUATION DEVICE

摘要

A fluid evacuation device is attachable to a hand-held instrument to provide the hand-held instrument with fluid evacuation capabilities. The fluid evacuation device includes a nozzle, a hose mount, and an evacuation hose. The nozzle has a receptacle that receives a portion of a hand-held instrument therein. The distal end of the nozzle has an opening therein through which fluid may be drawn into the nozzle. The fluid can pass through a flow region in the nozzle. The hose mount extends from the nozzle and connects the hose to the nozzle. The hose mount includes a passageway through which the fluid can pass from the flow region into the evacuation hose.

1. A fluid evacuation device that is attachable to a hand-held instrument, the device comprising:
a nozzle having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end having a receptacle configured to receive a portion of the hand-held instrument therein, the distal end having an opening therein through which fluid may be drawn into the nozzle, the nozzle also having a flow region in fluid communication with the opening in the distal end, the flow region extending from the distal end toward the proximal end; a hose mount associated with the nozzle, the hose mount having a passageway extending therethrough, the passageway being in fluid communication with the flow region in the nozzle; and an evacuation hose, a first end of the evacuation hose being connected to the hose mount such that a lumen in the evacuation hose is in fluid communication with the passageway in the hose mount.
