Pro-tip: O-Ring Kit for Pro-Tip Adapters - YOUNG DENTAL

Replacement O-Rings for Pro-tip Adapters

The Pro-Tip sealing arrangement to the converter is universal. All Pro-Tip adapters for disposable dental syringe tips use the same O-rings. When these wear out, they must be replaced to ensure maximum syringe sealing. The O-rings should be replaced when they are visibly worn or when there are air or water leaks between the Pro-Tip and the Pro-Tip Converter.

• Valid for all Pro-Tip adapters.
• Contents: The kit contains 2 units (1 black O-ring + 1 red O-ring).

How to Replace Pro-Tip O-Rings?

• Remove the black O-ring and the red O-ring with a sharp probe. Take the black O-ring and squeeze it into an oval shape between your thumb and forefinger, then place it in the converter bore at a right angle to the cross groove so that it sits vertically as shown. Using a coating applicator or other blunt instrument, gently press the top of the O-ring down and tuck it under and into the groove of the inner seal. Once the black O-ring is partially inserted as shown above, use the instrument to gently slide the opposite side of the O-ring up and into the groove. Finally, make sure the O-ring is straight and evenly positioned around the groove. Lubricate with a small amount of petroleum jelly to facilitate the insertion of the Pro-Tip nozzles. Place the red O-ring in position and insert it into the groove using a blunt instrument. Suitable for all Pro-Tip adapters. Contents: The kit contains 2 units (1 black O-ring + 1 red O-ring).
