- 8.4% Sodium bicarbonate buffering solution for dental local anesthetics
Overview:
- Purpose:
- BufferPro is designed to raise the pH of a dental anesthetic solution to a near-physiological level, which can lead to a more comfortable and faster-acting injection for patients
- Mechanism:
- Most local anesthetics are acidic, which can cause discomfort upon injection
- By adding a small amount of the basic sodium bicarbonate, BufferPro neutralizes the anesthetic's pH
- Format:
- The solution comes in a single-use, sterile, self-contained capsule
- The capsule is placed on the front of a dental anesthetic cartridge and pushed, which dispenses 0.1 mL of the sodium bicarbonate solution into the cartridge
- Usage:
- After dispensing, the cartridge is inverted once or twice to mix the solution before being injected
