FlexSuction Aerosol Suction System

The FlexSuction system is a powerful suction system that eliminates aerosol droplets at the point of origin – the patient’s mouth. It creates a very high effective “shield”, preventing the aerosol from spreading into the office environment; this reduces any contamination that could take place through the aerosol’s viral or bacterial particles between patients or patients and dental providers.

The FlexSuction system is a powerful suction system that eliminates aerosol droplets at the point of origin – the patient’s mouth. It creates a very high effective “shield”, preventing the aerosol from spreading into the office environment; this reduces any contamination that could take place through the aerosol’s viral or bacterial particles between patients or patients and dental providers.

Without Aerosol Elimination

Air droplets composed of water, saliva, blood, and dental plaque are expelled by force from the patient’s mouth into the environment. This results in possible infectious aerosol particles surviving in the air for a significant amount of time.

With Aerosol Elimination

FlexSuction suction system can reduce droplets produced by patients or dental professionals by up to 90%, lowering infection risk constantly.

Pathogen concentration and exposure time are crucial for infection spreading.

Use and Care Instructions

Sterilization Instructions

Sterilize the suction adapter at a temperature of 121 C/250 F and a pressure of 1.1 bar for 20 minutes.

The flexible neck can be cold sterilized.

 

How to defend against AEROSOLs?

  • Have the patient rinse their mouth with antiseptic solution before treatment
  • Eliminate air droplets at the source
  • Keep the suction system in good condition: flush the suction cup, clean the strainers, ensure the compressor is functioning correctly
  • Protect yourself from escaping aerosol with protective equipment
  • Disinfect surfaces and wash your hands
  • Ventilate often

Safety Warnings

Danger of injury

The large magnet located in the FlexSuction holder has a strong holding force and can cause bruises if handled carelessly. Take extra care when handling the magnetic holder.

Magnetic fields

Magnets have a strong magnetic fields that can damage devices such as TVs, laptops, hard drives, credit cards, watches, headphones, and many other products. Please keep devices and objects that could be damaged by the magnet at a sufficient distance.

Pacemakers

The magnet may affect the function of pacemakers and implanted cardiac defibrillators. If you have these devices, please keep as much distance as possible from the magnet. Other negative effects of magnets on humans are unknown..
