Isolite by Zyris

After trying out many of the competitors, I found that the VacuLUX was the best performing mouthpiece in patient comfort, ease of use, doctor access, visualization, reduction of sound & reliable suction.

Thinking of making the switch to VacuLUX Mouthpieces?

Like others, you've invested heavily in an Isolite isolation system for your practice, love how modern isolation techniques have improved dentistry for you, but are tired of disposing of costly mouthpieces after each patient. 

VacuLUX Isolation mouthpieces are compatible with all Isolite Systems.

Make the switch to autoclavable VacuLUX mouthpieces, without replacing your costly Isolite equipment, and you'll notice: 

consistent, uninterrupted suction

a significant sound reduction

easy pre-cleaning & sterilization

up to 90% savings over disposable

My team and I are loving the VacuLUX Mouthpieces! We find that they are quieter, more pliable and thus more comfortable for patients, allow for easier cleaning and retract more tissue than Dryshield or Isolite.
