Why Mr. Thirsty®? Mr. Thirsty® One-Step is an easy-to-use, hands-free isolation device that retracts, isolates, and evacuates saliva, eliminating the need to utilise a saliva ejector. Mr. Thirsty® provides an unobstructed field, creating the ideal intraoral work environment.   **[![Click here to get your FREE sample of a Mr Thirsty trial kit](https://hubspot-no-cache-ap1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/2163160/8ec3b25e-45dc-4039-896d-7507f87dc517.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-ap1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/2163160/8ec3b25e-45dc-4039-896d-7507f87dc517)**   **Patient Comfort** - Mr. Thirsty® is available in a range of sizes, which aids to minimise gagging and improve the patient’s experience. The patient’s jaw experiences less tiredness and a reduced the perception of being held open. - Mr. Thirsty® acts as a shield to protect the airway, and the constant suction improves patient comfort. Patients really like the fact that water does not reach the back of their throat. **Efficiency** - As a hands-free device, Mr. Thirsty® reduces time because it allows the dentists to focus on the procedure at hand instead of isolation and moisture control. It also frees up the dental assistant to either see other patients or perform other tasks. - Mr. Thirsty® is single use, so no extra time is spent in the sterile room taking it apart to clean and sterilise. - [Studies](https://www.zirc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/mrT_infograph_2-Low.pdf) have proven that this product offers time saving benefits. Mr. Thirsty® One-Step can decrease procedural times for the dentist by as much as 25% and chair time by 29% for the patient. **Clinical outcomes** - Mr. Thirsty provides good tongue and cheek protection, whilst keeping the field dry without additional suction. With effective retraction, isolation and superb moisture control, you can deliver better dental care and accurate outcomes.
