Safety Suction for Piezo Style Handpiece
Capture Aerosol at the Source
SafetySuction® brings high-volume evacuation right up to the tip of aerosol producing ultrasonic scalers. Aerosols can contain blood, bacteria, viruses. SafetySuction®’s proven-technology captures 93% aerosol as it is produced. Aerosols and liquids safely evacuate down the standard high-vac suction line.
Maximise protection by minimising aerosol.
Why SafetySuction®?
The new SafetySuction® captures 93% of aerosols at their source. The standards of dentistry are ever-changing with the demands of healthcare. Routine use of masks, gloves, and other surface protection are no longer enough with the presence of droplet-spread diseases. Measures need to be taken to reduce the amount of aerosol created and distributed in order to prevent the spread within the operatory area.
