Description

Yankauers are used to suction saliva, mucus, food, and other muck out of your mouth. They are similar in function to what your dentist uses. The most common type is made of rigid plastic. These work fine but are uncomfortable when used to clear stuff out of the back of the mouth.

We were introduced to a version that was made of less rigid plastic and has a soft tip. Steve likes this one much better. Sheila likes the protective cover on this model. Occasionally, he needs to remind his caregivers to pull the cover back. This leads to a fun situation where he asks for mouth suction but refuses to open his mouth until the cover is pulled back.

These yankauers have been hard to find. Sometimes we find them on Amazon. Lately, we had to search various DME suppliers for them. Our normal DME supplier does not carry them, so we pay for them out of our own pocket.
