The Nu-Bird high-volume (HV) suction mirror is a suction, viewing, and retraction instrument for dentists, hygienists, and assistants. Formerly known asthe Hammer Head suction mirror, the Nu-Bird HV suction mirror offers strong suction capacity – at 80% the level of a traditional high-volume evacuation (HVE) suction tip – but it also easily adapts to both high- and low-volume suction systems. The Nu-Bird efficiently pulls water and saliva out of the way to allow for a clear view of all areas in the mouth, making it ideal for use during ultrasonic scaling, air polishing, laser procedures, and sealant placement procedures. If the mirror becomes scratched, the No. 4 front-surface, rhodium-coated mirror face is replaceable. Manufactured in the United States with eco-friendly and fully sterilizable stainless steel, the Nu-Bird is designed to have a long lifespan.
