The cuspidor (or spittoon) is now an outdated element in dentistry, especially for those operating units found within a surgical context. Even if the unit is equipped with a removable cuspidor, it is preferable to use the suction funnel system: initially used in the United States (where it has replaced the cuspidor), the sterilisable or disposable funnel connected to a suction tube offers numerous advantages.
Doing away with the cuspidor is a small change that contributes to maintaining a high-level of work quality, safety and hygiene in the dental practice or operating room.
In keeping with this philosophy of innovation, Tecnomed has designed the Aspiserve mobile unit: Aspiserve is the perfect solution for dental operating units within a surgical context, where the focus on reducing the overall bacterial load within the entire space is one of the top requirements.
Main advantages
- Hygiene benefits: patients are becoming more attentive and, if the funnel is placed in their hands in front of them, they avoid getting dirty and dirtying the area, resulting in less space to decontaminate after each visit.
- Improved patient perception: with an individual funnel-shaped element, in sterile packaging, the patient will therefore perceive a more sterile, safe and clean environment.
- Time savings: cleaning and sanitising become simpler, and not having to sanitise the water unit after each visit means optimal use of time.
- Ergonomic benefit: by adopting the suction funnel system, space and movements are optimised.
