Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to improved multi-suction dental devices, assemblies, systems and methods and of using the same. The multi-suction dental devices can be configured to suction both liquids and aerosols during dental procedures. Each multi-suction dental device can comprise at least one low-volume evacuation (LVE) suction pathway and at least one high-volume evacuation (HVE) suction pathway.
Claims20
A multi-suction device comprising:
- at least one low-volume evacuation (LVE) suction pathway integrated into a housing, wherein:
- a first end of the at least one LVE suction pathway includes at least one LVE bore that is situated on a portion of the housing that is configured to be inserted inside of an individual's mouth during a procedure;
- a second end of the at least one LVE suction pathway includes at least one first opening that is configured to be directly or indirectly connected to one or more suction tubes;
- and
- the at least one LVE suction pathway is configured to facilitate extraction of liquid from inside the individual's mouth via the at least one LVE bore during the procedure;
- and
- at least one high-volume evacuation (HVE) suction pathway integrated into the housing, wherein:
- a first end of the at least one HVE suction pathway includes at least one HVE bore that is configured to be situated in a vicinity outside of the individual's mouth during the procedure;
- a second end of the at least one HVE suction pathway includes at least one second opening that is configured to be directly or indirectly connected to one or more second suction tubes;
- and
- the at least one HVE suction pathway is configured to facilitate extraction of aerosol in the vicinity outside of the individual's mouth via the at least one HVE bore during the procedure;
- and
- wherein an internal wall or structure within the multi-suction device separates the at least one LVE suction pathway from the at least one HVE suction pathway, and the at least one first opening located on the second end of the at least one LVE suction pathway and the at least one second opening located on the second end of the at least one HVE suction pathway are configured to be connected to separate suction tubes.

A multi-suction assembly comprising:
- at least one low-volume evacuation (LVE) suction pathway integrated into a housing of the multi-suction assembly, wherein the at least one LVE suction pathway is configured to facilitate extraction of liquid inside an individual's mouth via at least one LVE bore included on the multi-suction assembly;
- and
- at least one high-volume evacuation (HVE) suction pathway integrated into the housing of the multi-suction assembly, wherein the at least one HVE suction pathway is configured to facilitate extraction of aerosol in a vicinity outside the individual's mouth via at least one HVE bore included on the multi-suction assembly;
- and
- a wall or structure that separates the at least one LVE suction pathway from the at least one HVE suction pathway;
- wherein the at least one LVE suction pathway and the at least one HVE suction pathway are configured to be connected to separate suction tubes.
