Mr. Thirsty® isn’t just a suction device—it’s a simple way to improve productivity across every operatory in your organization. This single-use device instantly connects to any standard high-volume evacuation (HVE) valve—no assembly required.

The result? Hands‑free isolation, shorter procedures, reduced need for assistants, and improved patient comfort and safety.
