When emergency strikes and patient’s airway fills up with a massive amount of gastric content, the regular Yankauer suction tip just can’t handle the job. So to overcome the limitations, veteran firefighter and paramedic Jeff Rehman developed S-SCORT S3, a new oropharyngeal evacuation tool. Marketed by SSCOR, Inc., Sun Valley, CA firm, the device is described as a “rigid yet flexible large bore suction tip with a concave ‘scooping’ surface which allows for removal of solids and other material that will not travel through a large bore suction tube.”
