Practicon’s new Lock-On Saliva Ejector Tips solve a common problem we hygienists have probably all experienced at some point in our career. Many standard saliva ejector valves, probably most, have a rubber tip. The rubber tip is the part where the disposable saliva ejector gets inserted. That rubber part of the valve sometimes falls off when working on the patient, or falls off when the saliva ejector gets removed for disposal. The reason this happens is because these rubber tips are not held secure enough. The Practicon Lock On Saliva Ejector Tips provide that needed security.

Mark, this looks like a great product to be aware of. I currently use an all metal tip, but will remember this product if I ever need it in the future. Thanks!
