Actually...SolmeteX® Wins Every Year!!!
2003~~~2004~~~2005...
...and NOW...in December of 2006!!!
The DentalTown Townie Choice award is the one award in dentistry where registered, working
dentists determine the ranking products in all categories—products, equipment and service. In an
on-line survey conducted amongst 1,069 dentists, the Hg5 from
SolmeteX received the highest
number of votes in the amalgam separator category. Variables considered included dependability,
serviceability and support.

The
SolmeteX Hg5® Amalgam Separator has been certified to comply with ISO 11143, with a rating
of 99.82% particle removal. With no moving parts, the Hg5 device provides the dental clinic as
maintenance-free a system as possible!

Designed for the dental practices ranging from one to five chairs, the Hg5 system removes
amalgam from dental vacuum lines before it enters the wastewater stream. The mercury is trapped
in a removable and recyclable cartridge, thus ensuring the amalgam is not incinerated or landfilled
ending any future liability exposure for the dentist.

The Hg5 collects the amalgam; the spent cartridge is packaged with provided packaging and
labeling materials and shipped via UPS® to Mercury Waste Solutions, an US EPA certified mercury
recycler, where the mercury is recycled. There are no middlemen; nobody from a hazardous waste
hauling company has to pick up the cartridge. The entire process is reliable, safe, traceable, and
practically foolproof— from beginning to end.

Dental Societies in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, and Texas have formally endorsed
SolmeteX mercury removal technology. The Hg5
Series of Amalgam Separators are sold internationally to 8 different countries.

The
SolmeteX Hg5 Series can be found in local dental practices, dental clinics, military dental
facilities and dental schools.
SolmeteX systems are available to dental offices through dental
product dealers.
