Equipment for micro-suction

If we do not have micro-suction, how can we manage patients with an abscess?

Translated version of the Turkish original

A special device is not essential for micro-suction. You can use tips from prefilled calcium hydroxide or root canal sealer syringes, or plastic irrigation needle tips. Heat the end that attaches to the syringe or cut away its ridged section with a scalpel to adapt it to the suction holder. If using a plastic irrigation needle, also cut the very tip where the solution exits with a scalpel to widen the opening. Ready-made micro-suction attachments are also not very expensive and can be obtained.
