Several reasons include your health, your dental office team's health, and your patient's health.

An extra-oral dental suction scavenges the air in close proximity to the patient's mouth. Generally, we shoot for 6-8 inches. We use it during aerosol-producing dental procedures to capture all the nasty stuff in the patient's mouth from getting in our lungs or eyeballs. Seriously though, there are tons of stuff that dental professionals breathe in that we really shouldn't. On the shortlist: Amalgam vapors, particulate, periodontal bacteria, and viruses such as COVID-19.

Yes, it really works. You already likely are familiar with HVE and it's effect on aerosols. This is a very large, very powerful HVE designed specifically for the healthcare enviornment. Try it for 7 days, if you don't like it, send it back for a full refund (minus shipping). However, you can't use it on a patient and send it back, that's gross.

Most operators place it on the opposite side of the patient they are working on. If the operator is working with an assistant, the unit is positioned to the side of the chair near the patient's waist. The arm has a 36" reach. The round suction head is placed as close as comfortable to the patient and operator to capture as much of the aerosols as possible. We recommend 6-8 inches from the patients mouth.

The arm has rotating joints that are simple to use and adjust. Simple operation includes 4 buttons that turn the unit on, and suction volume control.

With anything new there is a slight learning curve. We have found overwhelmingly with dental professionals that the benefits outweigh any challenges in adapting to the unit. The dentist typically does not position it, and it does not need to be repositioned throughout the procedure.
