Brief Summary   A novel mechanical hand held suction device will be fabricated and will be clinically validated. This study will take place in in-patient and out- patient department of Otorhinolaryngology in AIIMS, New Delhi in collaboration with NIFT, New Delhi. Fabrication of 10 number of prototypes of the suction device will be done according to negative pressure requirement for each size. There will be 3 size of the suction device. In clinical validation, each size suction device will be used in 10 patients at 50 different occasions. The efficacy will be graded by trained medical professionals and care givers of the patients.
