- FUNCTIONAL
- Strong suction pump, large flow, high vacuum, long performance life.
- EFFICIENT
- Excellent heat dissipation performance, can work continuously for more than 4 hours.
- ADJUSTABLE
- Negative pressure could be regulated according to the clinical need by stepless adjusting knob.
- ERGONOMIC
- Ergonomic design does not get in your way while still providing effective removal of droplets.
- QUIET
- Low noise, noise level hardly increases when working with ultrasonic scalar, handpiece etc.
- The Problem of Aerosols and Droplets in Dental Clinics
Most dental treatments requirer the use of instruments such as high and low speed handpieces, ultrasonic scalers, polishers and so on.
- During the implementation of these instruments, the combination of compressed air and water can vaporize virus and bacteria particles in the patients oral cavity.
- Highspeed dental handpieces and ultrasonic instruments are particularly problematic because of their speed (400.000 rpm or 30 K etc.) and use of water for coolant and lavage.
- These atomized micro-droplets can drift a range of 1-2 meters around dental chair.
- These particles can also be inhaled by the dental professional, staff and other patients.
Reduce the danger of particle/droplet spread!
- Aerosols are created during oral treatment.
- Aerosols suspended in the air for an extended time until they settle on surfaces, clothing and equipment or are inhaled into the human
respiratory tract.
- Inhaled aerosolized virus and bacteria have
strong penetrating power and are considered to be the most potentially dangerous particles for transmitting diseases in the lungs.
During treatment, doctors and staff using ultrasonic scalers, 3- way syringe, high and low speed handpieces – generate a large amount of water and mist which combined with bacteria such as saliva, blood and other tissue in the patient’s mouth, producing aerosols. The extra-oral suction of the Vector Vortex removes these aerosols to prevent cross-infection between the doctors and the patients. Providing a clear, dry and clean envioronment.
I Have An HVE: Is it Good Enough?
Intra-oral suction can not significantly reduce droplet dispersion! (particulate matter greater than 0.5)
Dispersion rate=Droplets which are not caught/ Total tracked particles number
- When using intra-oral suction only, 50% ~ 60% of droplets are flying into the air
- Using intra-oral and extra-oral suction at the same time, the Vector Vortex captures close to 95% of droplet particles.
Capture rate=Total absorbed particles number /Total tracked particles number
In terms of the “capture rate” of droplet particles. The capture rate of the intra-oral and extra-oral suction combination is 40%~70% higher than that of using intra-oral suction only.
