This suction holder features a large hole for the thumb to hide an initiate suction, followed by the smaller holes within the end where the mucous enters and therefore the suction is applied. Oral suctioning is even today considered to be useful because it helps to clear the secretions from the mouth that the patient is unable to get rid of through effective coughing. Patients who have benefitted the foremost are those who are associated with drooling, impaired coughing, and therefore the last but not the smallest amount swallowing.
