A portable, hand-held, vacuum-operated suction device designed to enable a healthcare professional to gently suction and clear excessive mucus from the nasal passages of an infant or child to facilitate easier breathing. It is designed to be connected to a suction pump and includes both a luminal handpiece and a tip; the handpiece includes a side-hole which allows for manual low-level suction through cover/release, e.g., using the thumb. This is a reusable device.
