<p>A suction swab (100) and a method of making a suction swab (100). The suction swab (100) can include a shaft (102), a pad (104) coupled to the shaft (101), and an aperture (105) formed through the pad (104) and the shaft (102). The shaft (100) can be elongated and can have a lumen (116), a longitudinal direction and an outer transverse dimension oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal direction. The shaft can include a proximal end (120) and a distal end (122). The proximal end (120) can be coupled to a suction source. The aperture (105) can be in fluid communication with the lumen (116) of the shaft (102), can be elongated, and can have a width and a length greater than the width. The length of the aperture can be greater than the outer transverse dimension of the shaft. The method can include coupling the pad (104) to the distal end (122) of the shaft (102), and forming an aperture (105) through the pad (104) and the shaft (101).</p> |
