Abstract:
A fluid dispensing assembly comprising:a fluid supply system;a dental handpiece, said dental handpiece located externally of said fluid supply system;a plurality of fluid outlet lines disposed on said fluid supply system;a plurality of fluid inlets disposed on the dental handpiece;said fluid outlet lines being removably coupled to said fluid inlets;the system having a first reservoir and a second reservoir; said second reservoir capable of containing at least one of irrigation fluid, medicinal fluid, or decontamination fluid;a first reservoir head detachably coupled to the first reservoir;a second reservoir head detachably coupled to the second reservoir;a first fluid draw line contained within the first reservoir, the first fluid draw line detachably coupled with a fluid outlet line;a second fluid draw line communicatively coupled with the second reservoir, the second fluid draw line having a proximal end and a distal end;a first fluid outlet line communicatively coupled between the fluid and the dental handpiece;a second fluid outlet line communicatively coupled with the proximal end of the second fluid draw line;an air supply line communicatively coupled with the first reservoir head to supply pressurized air to the reservoir from a first air inlet, the air pressurized at a pressure capable of forcing fluid from the reservoir through the fluid outlet line;a second air inlet;the air supply line communicatively coupled with the second air inlet, and communicatively coupled with the second reservoir head to supply pressurized air to the second reservoir, the pressurized air forcing fluid from the second reservoir through the distal end of the second fluid draw line to the second fluid outlet.
