Rating of the best dental suction systems for 2020

Aspiration devices are used to remove (pump out) blood, saliva and other fluids in the mouth.

Product design

These units consist of three components:

• aspiration device;
• vacuum generating apparatus;
• separator.

By the type of work performed, the device can be of two types: centralized and individual use. This product has a complex design and principle of operation.

Connecting an aspirator includes many nuances. This is a technically challenging procedure. During the installation of the unit, it is necessary to take into account the location and shape of the pipes, as well as the location of all communications. Installation and connection should be done by a highly qualified specialist. A service engineer who maintains dental equipment is best suited for this job.

Aspirators are devices that require regular maintenance. After each working day for 15-20 minutes, the device must be rinsed, disinfected, cleaned filters. The product is serviced by a narrow-profile specialist 1-2 times a month. The procedure must be followed regularly.

Aspiration unit

This device is called the assistant's workplace. The suction unit is considered part of the product of modern dental devices. It is usually located at the base, behind the spitting device. In addition to the devices for suction of liquid, the suction unit has other control functions (for example, raising and lowering the chair).

Many devices of an independent type are produced. They are located near an installation that is not equipped with a helper's seat. The suction device can be placed on a movable panel that is attached to a special tripod or wall. The vacuum generator acts as a suction. All suction devices are equipped with it.

Vacuum generator

These devices differ in the way they function. They are produced in 3 types.
Air-flow or water-flow. The name speaks for itself. In this device, a vacuum is created by a stream of water or air that passes through a narrow channel at a pressure of 5.5 bar. This system is called the "Venturi valve". Generators of this type are used in individual-type devices for pumping liquid. These installations can be attributed to the middle and lower price segment.

The air-type generator has a slightly different operating principle. In this case, a high-power electric motor drives a fan, which creates the vacuum necessary for smooth operation of the equipment. Such units are widespread.They are used in individual and centralized devices.

The third type is a water pump. Its action is based on a water turbine, which is driven by an electric motor. A jet of liquid creates a vacuum. Simple tap water is suitable for work.

Separator

This unit is one of the elements of the entire device. It is necessary to separate the liquid and solid air components (excluding their penetration into the pump with a gas principle of operation). All separated substances are discharged through pipes to the sewer.

The centrifuge can be placed in a variety of locations. Depending on the design and type of the pumping device, manufacturers provide for its installation in the spitting unit block, in the dental unit itself and separately from the entire installation.

System types

Aspiration units are divided into 3 types. It all depends on the principle of operation of the vacuum generator and the location of the separator:

• aerial structures;
• wet functioning systems;
• mixed type devices.

The air structure consists of a generator, which is made in the form of a gas-type vacuum pump. The centrifuge is usually located next to the entire structure, in the draw unit or in the unit itself. The air between the individual elements of the entire unit is communicated through special pipes.

In a wet type device, the vacuum unit is a water pump. The separator is not provided in these devices. The aspiration substance is fed through pipes, then, mixing with water, goes down into the sewer canal.

The closed design of the Variosuc VC is in great demand. In this mixed type system, the vacuum generator is made on the principle of an air vacuum pump. For these units, the separator is located near the pump. Water is supplied to the centrifuge from the aspiration device through tubular channels.

The principle of operation and functioning of the aspiration unit

Near the landing site, on a universal tripod, the tubes (mouthpieces) of the vacuum cleaner and the apparatus for the gadfly of saliva are attached. A special tip is inserted into the upper part of the tubes. The saliva removal effect is done by the vacuum created by all of the above methods.

The aspiration slurry, which has already been cleaned, passes through the outlet and the separator. Then it goes into the sewer. If you remove one mouthpiece from the base of the holder, pressure will drop in all tubes of the aspiration system. The remaining channels must be closed securely in order for saliva to flow through the handpiece of choice. Units for aspiration drainage have found application in all dental offices and clinics.

How the centrifuge works

Vacuum pumps function for a long time and reliably if they do not get a spent suspension with an air mass. The separator reliably copes with this problem. Its main component is the separation vessel. The liquid, under the influence of suction forces, enters the container through the inlet and the filter, which separates it from the air mass. Through the outlet, air enters the pump, and the slurry (has a heavier weight) settles to the bottom.

The low pressure created in the container by a pump or pump closes the outlet valve located at the very bottom of the canister. When the dentist puts the mouthpiece back into the holding device, the throttle is automatically opened and the suspension spontaneously flows into the sewer. The liquid can be forced out by means of a pump.

A sensor is built into the container, which determines the height of the filling column, which will not allow the overflow of the container. If the liquid level reaches the meter, the pump stops working and the process of pumping out the suspension begins. When the water column decreases to a certain value, another sensor is triggered and the aspiration process continues its work.This system has a big drawback, since it automatically interrupts the aspiration process, which can interfere with the operation on the patient. It turns out that the larger the volume of the separator tank, the less often the work will be interrupted.

Experts believe that Cattani (Italy) products are the best aspiration systems. The units of this brand are considered the most balanced in terms of price and quality.

How the vacuum generator works

These devices, as mentioned above, have a different structure. Therefore, in principle, the operation of different vacuum generators has its own characteristics. For example, an air dynamo has its own distinctive features. Here the aspiration system starts its work immediately after taking it out of the mouthpiece holder. The air hose is attached to the entry directly from the dental unit.

If the generator is manufactured in the standard way at the factory, then the used air masses will be removed through the muffler. To release them outside, the doctor will need to connect a special hose and bring it outside. If the aspiration system has a centralized design, then pumps and generators of the same type are used, but the power of these devices will be much higher.

How to choose a suction device?

When purchasing this unit, you need to take into account the number of dental units in the room, which will need to be equipped and provided with a vacuum outlet.

If the clinic has many offices, it will be easier to install a centralized vacuum system. It will help to completely drown out noise sources in the working building, reduce financial costs for maintenance and reduce the cost of the entire unit (each dental device will cost less).
