Evaluators’ Comments
- “ I used the larger sizes for suction in surgery – they exposed broken root tips better than anything I have used previously. They were also useful in endo in helping drain an infected tooth.”
- “This suction is designed well. It was out of my way when I was trying to remove root tips.”
- “It was quiet, effective and sterilizable.”
- “I could see around it well to get to smaller access areas.”
- “Bendable tips with different size needle options, make it usable for many different procedures.”
- “It does not evacuate very much fluid at a time due to small size.”
- “Uses a saliva ejector that you may want to use at the same time.”
