Before understanding the importance of the patented Seal-Tight adapter, you have to understand the basic workings of a tip. The tips we’re discussing now have separate channels for air and water. The air channels are supposed to see only dry air where the water channel is supposed to see only water. It’s well known that moisture in the air can cause some big problems for certain procedures, such as bonding and restorations. So, the doctor doesn’t want water accidentally mixed with their air.

Most other syringe tips (including all metal tips and most disposable tips) have a relatively sharp male end that fits into the air/water syringe. This pointed end is sealed inside the syringe using a tiny O-ring and it scratches the O-ring when it’s inserted into the air/water syringe. Repeated insertions cause the O-ring to wear out and eventually allows water to leak into the air passages. A service call is often required to replace the O-ring, and can be very expensive. It’s important to understand that this service call is not a permanent fix. The O-ring will wear out again and cause another service call down the road. This cycle of wear and repair will continue to repeat over and over again.

The patented Seal-Tight adapter and tip invert the usual sealing system. The adapter is installed into the air/water syringe one time and remains there placing a metal “stinger” on the inside where the water travels. The Seal-Tight tip has a hard material on the outside and a soft yellow material on the inside. When you insert a Seal-Tight tip into the syringe, the stinger in the adapter is inserted in the soft yellow material of the tip. This material squeezes the stinger and acts like an O-ring, sealing the water passage.

Here is the key point: The soft material in the tip is brand new with every tip installation. It cannot wear out, because it’s never re-used, thus the water-sealing surface can’t wear out; it can’t leak. This negates the need for service calls to correct this issue.

A-dec Style

Use Seal-Tight Adapter No. 77021

This adapter will fit ALL A-dec Style syringes as referenced on the Adapter Selection Guide, regardless of whether they have been previously converted with Sani-Tip or Pro-Tip adapters. The key to recognizing if the syringe is an A-dec Style, is after the original fitting or the Sani-Tip or Pro-Tip adapter is removed, the size of the hole in the face of the syringe is the diameter of a pencil or approximately 5/16 of an inch in diameter. (Includes: A-dec, Ampco, Aseptico, Beaverstate, Belmont, DentalEZ, Dentrex, Empire, Forest, Hampton, Healthco, MDT, Parkell, Robbins, Schein Euro-C, Scope, Unitek, Vacudent, Viking)

Press Ring Style

Use Seal-Tight Adapter No. 77024

 This adapter, like the A-dec Style, must be screwed into the syringe. This MUST be used when the syringe has been previously converted to Sani-Tip or Pro-Tip, since the original Press Ring mechanism is usually gone from the office. The key to recognizing if the syringe is a Press Ring Style, is after the fitting is removed, the size of the hole in the face of the syringe is the diameter of a dime or approximately 11/16 of an inch in diameter.
