Suction unit for dental surgery, comprising exchangeable drive unit with safety socket

摘要

The suction device used in a dental surgery is kept almost continually running throughout the day resulting in a frequent breakdown of the drive unit. The new design of a suction unit is equipped with a replaceable drive unit (10) accommodated in a plastic housing (14) with several projections protruding from the rear. The projections can be engaged with matching recesses provided at the inner surface (18) of the main housing (44) of the suction unit and the two parts secured with wing nuts. A safety socket (46) is included in the replacement item (10).
