FAQ: Multi-Axis Spiral Suction from Ghost Manufacturing

AWARD-WINNING SUCTION TIP REVOLUTIONIZES HIGH-VOLUME EVACUATION

What advantages does the Multi-Axis Spiral Suction offer compared to other high-volume evacuation (HVE) products?

Ghost Manufacturing’s innovative Multi-Axis Spiral Suction offers multiple benefits. It’s the only HVE tip that will not grab the tongue, cheek or other soft tissue — and it also won’t take patients’ breath away when they close on the tip. In addition, it provides continuous suction — even if the end is occluded — and it’s designed to prevent the possibility of fluid backflow. Best of all, the Multi-Axis Spiral Suction allows single-handed dentistry without the use of cumbersome apparatuses.

Compared to other HVE tips on the market, the Multi-Axis Spiral Suction’s design encourages dental assistants to maintain ergonomic hand positioning, and it simultaneously improves the field of view for the dentist and assistant. Quieter than traditional HVE tips, the product also features a rounded edge to prevent possible tissue trauma, plus a rigid barrel that facilitates soft-tissue retraction.

Which clinical team members will benefit from using this suction tip?

Traditionally, HVE tips are used by dental assistants. Yet, due to the Multi-Axis Spiral Suction’s unique advantages and the fact that patients can actually close their lips around it, this tip also functions as a saliva ejector. This allows assistants, dental hygienists and pediatric assistants to eliminate the use of saliva ejectors. Additionally, dentists who occasionally perform single-handed dentistry will appreciate using an HVE tip that doesn’t constantly grab tissue.

Have these claims been independently verified?

Yes. Ghost Manufacturing’s Multi-Axis Spiral Suction has undergone multiple independent evaluations and, in fact, is one of the most highly decorated products in the dental market. It has earned eight major awards to date, including:

How much does the Multi-Axis Spiral Suction tip cost?

Depending on your local distributor, prices range from $14.95 to $16.99 for a bag of 100 disposable tips — that’s only 15 cents to 17 cents per procedure. In comparison, prices for traditional HVE tips can vary widely, from $4 to more than $100 for 100 tips. And here’s another important consideration when making price comparisons: The cost is equivalent or even less when you consider the clinical and time advantages of using the Multi-Axis Spiral Suction, especially when the office is able to eliminate the expense of using saliva ejectors.
