- Primarily used for deep injections of local anesthetic in dentistry
- The thicker gauge and longer length make it ideal for procedures that require a greater depth of penetration or have a higher risk of positive aspiration
Uses:
- Inferior alveolar nerve block:
- The 25-gauge long needle is the recommended needle for a mandibular or inferior alveolar nerve block because the distance needed to reach the nerve is significant
- Using a long needle ensures the clinician doesn't have to "hub" the needle, where it could potentially break
- Deep tissue injections:
- It is the ideal choice for any deep infiltration or regional nerve block that requires a greater depth of penetration
- The thicker, more rigid 25-gauge needle offers less deflection as it advances through the tissue, resulting in greater accuracy
- High aspiration risk procedures:
- The larger diameter of the 25-gauge needle makes aspiration much more reliable
- Injections with a high risk of positive aspiration, where anesthetic is injected into a blood vessel, require a needle that allows for a larger, more accurate withdrawal of fluid to check for blood
- Infraorbital nerve block:
- For adults, a long needle is also recommended for the infraorbital block injection
Features:
- Optimal for anesthetics:
- This product is designed for administering local anesthetics in dental procedures
- Plastic hub:
- The needles feature a universal plastic hub that is compatible with most standard dental syringes, including Luer-lock and screw-on types
- Bevel indicator:
- An indicator dot on the hub helps dental professionals easily orient the lancet bevel, which can lead to a less painful injection for the patient
- Precise flow:
- The point of the needle at the cartridge end is designed to prevent blockage and ensure an easy and consistent flow of the anesthetic solution
- Easy identification:
- The packaging is color-coded red, which is the standard color for 25-gauge long needles
- Sterile:
- Each needle is sterile and disposable, ensuring patient safety and preventing cross-contamination
