Abstract: A high volume evacuator (HVE) device, for use in dental procedures, securely receives a threaded stem of a reusable dental mirror. The housing of the HVE device includes an axially-extending depression having a pair of parallel sidewalls, each of the sidewalls having a plurality of ribs oriented in a direction perpendicular to an axis of the housing. The ribs serve to retain threads of a threaded stem of a dental mirror. A passthrough opening is provided to permit the threaded stem of the dental mirror to pass from an interior of the housing of the HVE device into the axially-extending depression. The housing of the HVE device includes structural members that facilitate insertion of a dental mirror in a manner that direct the threaded stem toward and through the passthrough opening. The housing of the HVE device may also include intake holes to draw in aerosols other than through a mouth at a distal end of the HVE device.
