(800) 560-6066Isolite Operating Room Adapter (ORA)
Enable superior isolation and suction in operating rooms while maintaining strict infection control standards
Maximize your Time in the Operating Room
The new Operating Room Adapter (ORA) allows the use of the Isolite Posterior Mouthpiece in an Operating Room setting. The single-use adapter enables quick operating room turnover time by allowing everything from the vacuum canister to the mouthpiece to be disposed of.
The ORA works seamlessly with both the Isolite Posterior Mouthpiece and the new HOOPLA Retractor simultaneously, teaming up to provide that next level of isolation and retraction.
ORA is perfect for dental professionals who:
Treat pediatric or special needs patients requiring general anesthesia for dental procedures.
Used in Pediatric Dentistry, Children’s Hospitals & Clinics
Streamlined Turnover
Reduce time between cases and improve OR efficiency:
- Quick setup and disposal process
- No need for cleaning or sterilization of isolation components
- Allows for faster room turnaround in busy OR schedules
Enhanced Patient Safety
ORA contributes to a safer operative environment:
- Reduces risk of fluid aspiration during procedures
- Minimizes aerosol generation compared to traditional suction methods
- Disposable nature eliminates potential for cross-contamination between patients
Seamless Integration with Hospital Systems
ORA connects effortlessly to standard operating room suction systems:
- Compatible with standard surgical tubing and vacuum canisters
- Adapts Isolite technology to low-volume hospital vacuum systems
COMING IN JANUARY 2025
Environmental Innovation
At Zyris, we’re constantly seeking ways to improve our products’ performance and reduce their environmental footprint. Our latest breakthrough is the use of a biodegradable, plant-based polymer for the Operating Room Adapter.
Plant-Based Material
Made from renewable resources, decreasing reliance on petroleum-based plastics
Single-Use Excellence
Maintains the necessary rigidity and performance for effective isolation
Waste Reduction
Naturally breaks down over time, reducing waste while allowing the convenience of a single-use design
Sustainable Dentistry
Demonstrates our commitment to more sustainable dental practices
“I would not practice in the operating room without (ORA). It makes practicing sedation dentistry faster, easier, and safer. It suctions all the fluids, I don’t need to use a rubber dam, and I can go work on an entire side at a time.”
– Dr. Ana Vázquez

By choosing ORA, you’re not just getting superior isolation — you’re also supporting responsible innovation in dental instrument manufacturing.
ORA offers several advantages over traditional methods:
- Disposable design eliminates sterilization concerns
- Provides more comprehensive isolation than gauze or throat packs alone
- Offers continuous suction throughout the procedure
- Reduces the need for constant intervention by assistants
- May decrease procedure times and improve overall efficiency
ORA is designed to work with standard surgical tubing and vacuum canisters found in most operating rooms.
It adapts the Isolite system to the typically lower-volume suction available in hospital settings.
If you have specific compatibility concerns, our technical support team can assist you with a detailed assessment of your setup.
ORA enhances patient safety in several ways:
- Reduces the risk of fluid aspiration by providing continuous suction
- Minimizes aerosol generation compared to traditional suction methods
- Single-use design eliminates the risk of cross-contamination between patients
Improves visibility for the surgeon, potentially reducing the risk of procedural errors
ORA is versatile and can be beneficial for a wide range of oral surgical procedures, including:
- Complex extractions
- Trauma cases involving the oral cavity
- Extensive dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia
- Procedures on special needs patients who require OR settings
Many surgical centers report significant improvements in turnover times when using ORA:
- No need to sterilize isolation components between cases
- Quick disposal and setup process
- Reduced cleanup time due to improved fluid control during procedures
While specific time savings can vary, some facilities report being able to add an additional case per day due to improved efficiency.
Many practices are able to begin using ORA immediately upon receiving their first order:
- No special equipment installation required
- Minimal training needed, especially for those familiar with Isolite
- Can be implemented on a case-by-case basis, allowing for gradual adoption
Our support team is available to help you plan a smooth integration of ORA into your workflow.
ORA is compatible with the full range of 6 Isolite Posterior Mouthpiece sizes, from pediatric to extra-large adult.
This allows you to choose the appropriate size for each patient, ensuring optimal isolation and comfort for every procedure.
Yes, ORA works well in cases with nasal intubation.
In fact, many clinicians find it particularly helpful in these situations as it provides reliable isolation and suction without interfering with the airway management.
ORA is designed to work seamlessly alongside other OR equipment:
- Low profile design doesn’t interfere with access to the procedure area
- Compatible with standard OR monitoring equipment
In fact, many clinicians find it particularly helpful in these situations as it provides reliable isolation and suction without interfering with the airway management.
We’ve taken significant steps to minimize the environmental impact of ORA. In January 2025 our ORA adapters will be made from a biodegradable, plant-based polymer to reduce waste and decrease reliance on petroleum-based plastics.
ORA also eliminates the need for water and energy-intensive sterilization processes, and reduces the use of other disposable items like gauze, cotton rolls and suction tips.
