Here’s an easy trick to make your DryShield or IsoVac system very portable without having to deal with extra tubing. Total cost is around 35 cents.
Items needed
1. About 2 inches of standard HVE tubing with a hexagonal internal shape. This allows the HVE tip to fit tightly. You may already have this tubing in your office, but if you don’t, you can purchase here: http://www.amerdental.com/vacuum-tubing-repair/1-2-silcryn-hve-tubing.html
2. Any standard, plastic HVE tip. It’s not necessary, but it’s better if you cut the tip as short as possible.
Reasons why clinicians may need easy portability
1. I can’t afford to install a system in every room.
2. I don’t want to install a second HVE valve.
3. I’m an associate, or hygienist, who works in multiple offices and need to take my system with me.
