Fraser suction has a hole in the handle portion that can be covered with a fingertip as needed. When hard tissue is being cut under copious irrigation, the hole is
covered so that the solution is removed rapidly. When soft tissue is being suctioned, the hole can be left uncovered to prevent tissue injury or soft tissue obstruction of the suction tip
