- Research Facts
- An aspirator is a negative pressure apparatus for withdrawing liquids from cavities; the suction tube was hooked up to a suction machine; when negative pressure was created, then fluid could be sucked in via the hollow tube with a rubber hose attachment; the bent metal tube would have led to the patient via a rubber tube; the ping-pong ball was used to stop aspiration when the collecting jar was full; the ball would rise with the collected liquid and seal up the top and discontinue the negative pressure within the jar
