Dental Aspirators and Suction Tips

Types of dental aspirators

Saliva ejector

Saliva ejectors are low-volume tips that remove saliva and water during cleanings, sealants and fillings: the reusable saliva ejector.

Endo and micro aspirators

Fine-bore tips for drying root canals and for suction at the root end in apical surgery: the dental micro suction tip, the endo aspirator and the right-angle short and long tail versions for anterior and molar canals.

Surgical aspirators

• Right angle — the tip bent 90° for posterior, socket and lingual access: the dental aspirator right angle.
• Tissue relief slot — a side opening near the tip lets air in when soft tissue covers the opening: the aspirator with tissue relief slot, also in a right-angle version.
• Yankauer — the double-bend pattern for oral and pharyngeal suction: the Yankauer aspirator double bend, with and without a tail.
• Tail aspirators — end in a plain tube for surgical suction tubing rather than a valve fitting: the aspiration tip with tail and the medium tail aspirator.

How to choose dental suction tips

• Volume and job. Saliva and water in routine care → saliva ejector; canals and root ends → endo and micro aspirators; blood, irrigation and bone debris in surgery → surgical aspirators.
• Access. Right-angle tips reach posterior, socket and lingual areas; short and long endo tips match anterior and molar canals.
• Soft tissue nearby. A tissue relief slot keeps suction working when tissue covers the tip.
• Connection. Tail aspirators take surgical suction tubing directly; the others fit the dental suction valve.

What is a dental suction tool used for?

Keeping the field dry in routine and preventive care, drying canals after irrigation in root canal treatment, and clearing blood, saliva, irrigation and bone debris at extraction, flap, periodontal and implant sites and at the root end in apical surgery.

How BusinessMed dental aspirators are made

German stainless steel; reusable, autoclavable and covered by a 5-year warranty. Two surgical aspirators carry titanium tips, as their names state.
