Saliva Collecting Mouthpiece

thingiverse

This design is an entry for the Assistive Technology challenge, specifically tailored to attach to the end of tubes used for removing excess saliva from handicapped students' mouths in classrooms. By integrating this attachment onto already existing tubes, it offers a more comfortable experience than standard suction tubes, providing essential relief during collection procedures. Print Settings Rafts: It Makes No Difference How I Came Up with This Concept I met with a dedicated teachers' aid in a high school special education classroom to identify ways to simplify the daily routines of their students. She shared her invaluable insight about how saliva tubes are notoriously uncomfortable, which prompted me to develop this design as a game-changing solution. This innovation provides the soothing effect of a pacifier while simultaneously ensuring that students experience less discomfort during saliva collection.
