- A specialized, 1.5mm high-volume evacuation (HVE) surgical aspirator tip that is a reusable, stainless steel instrument measuring 16cm, is used for precision suctioning during dental and surgical procedures
Uses
- Endodontic & Root Tip Suction:
- Its narrow tip provides precise suction in confined spaces like root canals
- Microsurgical Procedures:
- Used to evacuate blood, saliva, and debris without obstructing the surgeon's view
- High-Volume Evacuation:
- Despite its small tip, it is designed for use with high-volume valves to quickly clear the surgical field
Features
- 1.5mm Tapered Tip:
- The narrow tip is tapered to help prevent clogging during continuous suctioning
- Stainless Steel Construction:
- Made of 3/16” diameter surgical-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion
- HVE Compatibility:
- Designed to fit directly into any standard 11mm high-volume cut-off valve
- Autoclavable:
- The metal construction allows it to be fully sterilized in an autoclave for repeated use
- Maintenance Requirements:
- Recommended for use with Small (1/8") and Medium (1/4") cleaning brushes to effectively remove bioburden
Benefits
- Precision and Visibility:
- The slim design allows for excellent positioning and visibility, especially in posterior or lingual areas of the mouth
- Tissue Protection:
- Some variants of this design include tissue relief slots to prevent the tip from accidentally "grabbing" or damaging soft tissue like the tongue or cheek
- Reduced Downtime:
- The tapered tip design minimizes interruptions by reducing the frequency of clogs during intense surgical suctioning
- Cost Efficiency:
- As a reusable instrument, it provides long-term value over disposable plastic alternatives while maintaining higher structural integrity
