MODEL 100-ORAL
Introducing The NuFlow Oral and Ent Fluid Evacuator (OFE)
Doctors and patients have enough to worry about during surgery. Our NuFlow OFE system takes the worry out of fluid extraction during ORAL and ENT Surgeries. This patent pending product is a non-invasive solution for the standard cotton dental pack. This product can help streamline the ORAL and ENT Surgeries process and provide improved safety and patent comfort. During more complex procedures where extensive fluid control is required, the NuFlow OFE system can also produce significant time savings.
