A unique valve creates a one way flow of air. The aspirator stays in place until gentle pulses of suction clear the airway. The form meets the ergonomic needs of parent and child. The off center tip positions the aspirator close to the child’s face. The overmolded finger recesses provide visual and tactile feedback for proper grip and intuitive bulb actuation. The ovoid shape fits comfortably and prevents the bulb from inverting when pressed. All parts disassemble easily for cleaning.
