- Despite the extra length, the primary use of this needle is still focused on patient comfort and shallow, localized injections, rather than deep nerve blocks
Uses:
- Comfort-focused procedures:
- For patients who are sensitive to injections, the 30-gauge long can be used for infiltrations in areas where a longer reach is necessary
- Subcutaneous injections in dentistry:
- Injections that need to enter the subcutaneous layer (between the skin and the muscle) are well-suited for a fine-gauge needle
- Specific palatal injections:
- The longer length provides better reach for some injections on the hard palate, and the thin gauge helps reduce patient discomfort
- Testing and localized anesthesia:
- Can be used for localized or testing anesthesia in certain areas before committing to a deeper injection with a thicker needle
Features:
- Optimal for patient comfort:
- The very fine 30-gauge diameter minimizes the sensation of needle insertion, which is ideal for patients with needle phobia or sensitive injection sites
- 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 blue, which is the standard color for 30-gauge long needles
- Sterile:
- Each needle is sterile and disposable, ensuring patient safety and preventing cross-contamination
