- A sterile, disposable medical device used for the administration of local anesthetics in dental procedures
Uses
- Local Anesthesia:
- Specifically used for delivering anesthetic agents into oral tissues
- Short Length Application:
- The "Short" size (1 inch) is typically preferred for infiltration injections where deep tissue penetration is not required
- General Dentistry:
- Utilized across various procedures, including restorative work, cleanings, and minor oral surgeries
Features
- Gauge and Size:
- A 27 gauge needle with a 1-inch (Short) length
- Color-Coded Yellow:
- Features a yellow plastic hub and packaging, the industry-standard color code for 27 gauge needles, allowing for immediate identification
- Tri-Beveled Tip:
- The surgical stainless-steel tubing features a tri-beveled point to reduce the force required for tissue penetration
- Indicator Mark:
- Includes a bevel position indicator mark on the hub to help clinicians align the needle correctly during injection
- Plastic Hub:
- Features a pre-threaded, rounded plastic hub designed for a softer, gentler contact against the patient's cheek or gums
- Sterile Packaging:
- Supplied in tamper-resistant, sterilized packaging in boxes of 100
Benefits
- Patient Comfort:
- The silicone coating and tri-beveled tip minimize tissue trauma and pain during insertion. The rounded hub further prevents irritation of soft oral tissues
- Clinician Safety:
- High-quality surgical stainless steel reduces the risk of the needle breaking during use
- Procedural Hygiene:
- The hub is designed without ribs to prevent blood coagulation on the device, maintaining a cleaner field during the procedure
- Ease of Identification:
- Standardized color-coding prevents selection errors in fast-paced clinical environments
