Antifoaming tablets

(draw. 23-24 pag. 18)
We strongly recommend the use of antifoaming agent particularly in case of surgical
operations. Blood, on contact with air and with turbulence created by aspiration, builds-
up a large quantity of foam, which activates the emergency device of the appliance
stopping the aspiration. Many other substances cause foam builds-up, such as mucus
and some disinfectants used to wash and treat the mouth; so the use of the antifoaming
tablets (which have no contraindications) is always advisable.
The present production of antifoaming agent adds to its primary antifoaming effect also
a bacteriostatic and sanitizing action which anyway does not substitute the detergent
and disinfectant action of Puli-Jet but on the contrary supports it during the day, when
cleaning operations cannot be easily carried out. Sanitizing antifoaming tablets must be
put into the tip support filter and placed so that aspirated liquids, through the filter, carry
away some particles of the product. If the tablets are placed in the filter, draw. 23-24, in
the evening after the cleaning with Puli-Jet, on the morrow they will be softened and their
effect will be immediate; tablets placed in the filter just before starting the day's work will
be too dry and will need some minutes before being activated.
