Intro
You can slide two standard saliva ejectors into a standard HVE tip and it will provide good retraction and evacuation during power scaling, and it will also isolate lower quadrants very well when doing solo sealants. Total cost = 15 cents

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! Cannot wait to try!
Brilliant!
Do you have a more rigid hose for HVE suction. This looks very smart, I just feel it would be awkward trying to hold HVE suction while power scaling.
Are you referring to the HVE tubing? If you cut the HVE tip shorter it’s less awkward.
Great idea! I’m going to use this with Ultrasonic scaling! Thanks for sharing!?
Figure out a way to mount a mirror head on it and you are a millionaire
I’ll work on it : )
Hi Kona, check out the Clip Mirror at http://www.dhessentials.com.
Will do. If you send me a sample I can do a product review. You can e-mail me at kona26@hotmail.com

Genuis! Definitely going to try this! Thanks so much! What a great solution
You may have solved several issues for me. Will try this Monday morning!
Patent your idea, make a prototype.
Wow-awesome solution
Mark, what a terrific solution! Love your ingenuity!
I have been trying to find something to use when using the prophet-jet as I hate the powder getting everywhere, including all over me. I will have to try this and see if it helps. Thanks!
Wow! I going to have to try this! What a great idea!
I can’t wait to show this to my attendees in Boise and Coeur d’Alene this week.
What do you use to cut the HVE tip with?
Plier cutters, but you can probably use heavy duty scissors too.
I really wanna try it but how does it not get in the way of the high speed or low speed during composite
I’m a hygienist, so I don’t prep teeth, but it shouldn’t be an issue.
That would be great for sealants so trying !!
do you have to hold it? If so, what about holding mirror?
Would love to see a video of you using power scaler and holding is. Pan the camera out so we can see.
Agree with Debbie donleavy. It’d be nice to see video of scaling cavitron/pjet while holding suction unless you had luxury of assistant (?)
I’ll try to work it into a future video.
Thank you very much its a great idea! ?
Another great idea for working smarter!!
I wish I had thought of it! thanks!!
A fellow RDH and I shoved a mirror head in with the 2 low speed tips no problem. Works like a charm. Thanks for the idea!
If possible, can you send me photo. I will try this tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your modification.
Brilliant. I will try it my next workday!
