- A right-angled surgical aspirator tip designed for high-volume evacuation (HVE) in specialized dental and oral surgical procedures
Uses
- Endodontic & Root Tip Surgery:
- Specifically recommended for root tip and endo suctioning where targeted clearance is necessary
- Socket Suction:
- Its size and shape make it excellent for suctioning after tooth extractions (socket preservation)
- Lingual Area Access:
- The right-angled bend allows practitioners to easily navigate the tongue and lingual regions of the mouth during surgery
Features
- 4.0mm Tip Diameter:
- A larger aperture compared to precision models like the 15P1A, making it suitable for higher fluid output and small debris
- Tissue Relief Slots:
- Integrated slots at the tip help prevent the vacuum from "grabbing" the tongue, cheek, or other soft tissues, which is a common issue with standard HVE tips
- Stainless Steel Build:
- Made from 3/16” diameter stainless steel, the instrument is fully autoclavable and durable enough for long-term clinical use
- HVE Compatibility:
- Designed to fit directly into any standard 11mm high-volume cut-off valve
- 16cm Length:
- Its 6.25-inch length provides sufficient reach for posterior surgical sites
Benefits
- Enhanced Patient Comfort:
- The tissue relief slots significantly reduce the risk of soft tissue trauma and "grabbing," improving the overall patient experience during suctioning
- Superior Ergonomics:
- The 90-degree right-angle design allows for easier access to difficult-to-reach areas of the mouth without obstructing the practitioner's line of sight
- Reliable Maintenance:
- The internal walls are designed for efficient cleaning; a Medium (1/4") cleaning brush is recommended to ensure 100% removal of bioburden between uses
- Sustainable Choice:
- As a reusable metal tool, it serves as a more durable and eco-friendly alternative to disposable plastic aspirator tips
