- A 27-gauge, side-vent endodontic irrigation needle pre-mounted on a 3cc syringe that is designed for safe and thorough disinfection of the root canal system, featuring a closed-end tip that forces irrigant out through a side port to prevent apical extrusion
Uses
- Safe Canal Irrigation:
- Flushing out debris and bacteria with chemical agents (e.g., sodium hypochlorite) while avoiding the tooth apex
- Periodontal Treatment:
- Gentle cleaning and irrigation of periodontal pockets where traditional tips may be too aggressive
- Complex Anatomy Cleaning:
- Navigating narrow or curved canals that require a slim, flexible needle for effective delivery of solutions
Features
- Side-Vent (Closed-End) Tip:
- The needle is closed at the very tip, with the opening located on the side to create a lateral flow that protects the periapical tissue
- 27-Gauge Diameter:
- A thin gauge that provides excellent accessibility into narrow canals
- Pre-Mounted 3cc Syringe:
- Usually comes as a combined unit to streamline clinical setup and maintain sterility
- Yellow Color-Coded Hub:
- Standardized color coding allows for fast visual identification of the 27G size
- Luer Lock Hub:
- Ensures a secure, leak-proof connection to the syringe barrel
Benefits
- Reduced Risk of Tissue Damage:
- The side-vent design prevents the "pressure-cooker" effect, significantly lowering the risk of pushing caustic irrigants past the root tip
- Patient Comfort:
- The small diameter and high flexibility allow for easier navigation of complex tooth structures with less mechanical stress
- Enhanced Cleaning Efficiency:
- Creates a "turbulent" flow that better debrides the lateral walls of the root canal compared to standard open-ended needles
- Cost-Effective:
- Offers a significantly lower price point than leading brands like Monoject while meeting the same clinical standards
