A disposable cushioned aspirator which forms part of a dental or medical aspirating system. The disposable cushioned aspirator appliance described herein is intended principally to be used in dental and medical procedures where body fluids and rinse water is evacuated from the site of a procedure. An elongate tubular element has a connection end and a patient end. The patient end is exteriorly lined with a layer of soft cushioning material such as a soft thermoplastic elastomers, styrene based polymers, rubber or a porous polymer foam material to define an aspirator tip that protects the soft tissues in and around the mouth of a patient. The soft aspirator tip has external longitudinal pressure relief channels and recessed aspiration openings within the channels for control of aspiration characteristics. The aspirator tube is capable of being manually bent to a desired configuration and has an embedded structural member such as wire extending along its length and being pliable to permit bending and yet of sufficient structural integrity to maintain the aspirator in the desired configuration during use. |
