I work in an office where everything (handpiece connections, air/syringe, HVE valve, saliva ejector valve, space to place instruments, etc.) is at the 12 o’clock position. The patient chair is only a patient chair. There is nothing connected to it. As you can imagine, this sucks for ergonomics. I work out of 8 chairs (6 in an open bay for pedo patients and 2 in private operatories for adults) and because I move around quite a bit I needed a mobile solution to re-locate at least some items to the 2 or 3 o’clock position. The first thought that came to mind was to purchase a traditional dental cart on wheels, but those are quite expensive, so I decided to visit Wal-Mart instead where I picked up a few of those cheap Sterilite plastic 5-drawer carts on wheels. I also purchased a pack of HVE valve and saliva ejector valve holders from eBay and then picked up a few small bolts/nuts from Home Depot. What you see below is what I came up with and they have been working great for at least 2 years. One of the wheels snapped off of one of the carts after about 1 year, but that was the only issue. These carts get rolled around quite a bit in my office.

These are our sealant cart setups. They provide a nice work space on top and all needed supplies are stored in the drawers.
Very cool.
Hey! I love the cart! I can’t seem to find the HVE and saliva ejector holders on ebay. Can you help? Thanks!
I found them at Pearson Dental: http://www.pearsondental.com/catalog/product.asp?majcatid=639&catid=5487&subcatid=15892&pid=63313&dpt=0
