- A professional, prescription-only injectable local dental anesthetic, formulated as an amide-type local anesthetic with a vasoconstrictor, it is packaged as a box of 50 single-use 1.7 mL glass cartridges featuring a distinctive red color-coding standard
Uses
- Infiltration Anesthesia:
- Administered directly around localized nerve endings to numb specific teeth for localized treatments
- Conductive Nerve Blocks:
- Injected near primary nerve pathways to induce widespread quadrant numbing for complex, deep-tissue dental procedures
- Routine Operative Procedures:
- Extensively deployed across standard dentistry for root canals, cavity preparations, crown placements, and simple extractions
Features
- Dual-Action Chemistry:
- Combines 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (the active numbing agent) with a 1:100,000 epinephrine ratio to safely extend anesthetic activity
- Rapid-Onset Formula:
- Delivers an average onset time of less than 2 minutes during infiltration and 2 to 4 minutes for mandibular nerve blocks
- Predictable Numbing Windows:
- Provides approximately 60 minutes of deep pulpal anesthesia via infiltration and up to 90 minutes via nerve blocks
- Mylar-Wrapped Glass:
- Each glass cartridge is jacketed in a high-strength Mylar film label to protect clinicians from glass fragments in the event of an accidental cartridge break
- Hypoallergenic Build:
- Formulated 100% free of methylparaben and natural rubber latex to drastically reduce the risk of allergic responses in sensitive patients
- Terminal Sterilization:
- Both the internal solution and the cartridge container undergo final stage serialization to guarantee strict clinical purity
Benefits
- Minimized Operative Bleeding:
- The targeted 1:100,000 epinephrine vasoconstrictor slows localized blood flow, providing clinicians with a highly clear and visible working field
- Prolonged Pain Management:
- By constricting nearby vessels, the epinephrine slows systemic absorption, keeping the lidocaine locked in target tissues twice as long as plain formulas
- Smooth Injection Delivery:
- Outfitted with specialized siliconized rubber plungers and stoppers to enable precise, uniform fluid administration without jerking
- Safe Clinical Transport:
- Cartridges are structurally organized 10 to a blister tray to avoid dangerous glass-to-glass striking and reduce storage fractures
