Surgitip-endo aspirator tip for root canals

The international dental specialist Coltene has added the Surgitip-endo endodontic aspirator tip to its ROEKO Surgitip product line

Surgitip-endo has been specially developed for drying root canals, and its flexible front section allows comfortable insertion in hard-to-reach root canals (mesiobuccal 1 and mesiobuccal 2 in the maxillary molar and mesiobuccal and distolingual in the mandibular molar) without having to bend the tip of the aspirator.

This was achieved by developing a special multi-part fully rotating ball joint.

The Surgitip-endo can be used to dry root canals quicker and more efficiently than is possible with paper points alone.

From a visual point of view, it is immediately obvious that the Surgitip-endo belongs to the Surgitip family which includes the Surgitip (surgical aspirator tip) and the Surgitip-micro (microsurgical aspirator tip). All aspirators are characterized by the green tip that provides excellent contrast in the operating field. The sales pack contains 20 individually packaged Surgitip-endo aspirator tips manufactured under clean room conditions. The aspirator tip is ready for immediate use and can be hygienically removed from the pack and connected without any contact. The included autoclavable Double Adapter allows alternative connection to the standard water aspirator hose and the saliva aspirator hose. The aspirator tube can be held like a pencil without any difficulties and ensures a firm grip and comfortable work position.

The outer diameter of the canal tip corresponds to ISO 60, the inner diameter is 0.35 mm, and therefore, it is optimally adapted to the prepared ISO sizes of root canals. In addition, the three-dimensional rotational flexibility of the tip is a notable feature. Due to the special ball design, the tip is highly flexible and thus ensures unrestricted high suction performance together with an optimal view of the field of treatment.

As the Surgitip-endo has a very small inner diameter, tissue and larger particles should be aspirated using a Surgitip/Surgitip-micro. To prevent the Surgitip-endo tips from clogging, the tips can be rinsed occasionally with water or, if clogged, flushed from the front using an irrigation cannula.

In conclusion, here is a summary of the main advantages of the Surgitip-endo aspirator tips: 

• Its innovative ball design ensures optimal aspiration and good canal access
• Surgitip-endo is ideally suited for work under the operating microscope
• Thorough drying of the canals optimizes adhesion of the filling material to the root canal walls
• The time required for final drying of the canal with paper points is reduced significantly
• The aspirator tips are packaged individually and hygienically and are ready for immediate use.
