- An elite, prescription-only local dental anesthetic solution combining 4% articaine hydrochloride and 1:100,000 epinephrine, packaged as a box of 50 single-use 1.7mL glass cartridges, it is the #1 branded local dental anesthetic utilized by dental professionals across the United States
Uses
- Local Infiltration Anesthesia:
- Safely blocks pain signals around targeted teeth, notably providing highly effective bone-penetrating infiltration in the dense mandibular (lower jaw) region without always requiring a nerve block
- Conductive Nerve Blocks:
- Administered to temporarily deaden primary nerve pathways for complex, multi-quadrant dental reconstructions
- Operative & Oral Surgery:
- Deployed during endodontic treatments (root canals), extractions, and crown preparations where reliable, profound pain control is mandatory
Features
- Dual-Action Formulation:
- Blends 4% articaine HCl (the fast-acting numbing agent) with a 1:100,000 epinephrine vasoconstrictor to slow systemic absorption and maximize depth
- Rapid-Onset Action:
- Induces profound pulpal anesthesia within a brief 1 to 9 minute window after initial injection
- Predictable Duration Profiles:
- Delivers up to 60 minutes of deep pulpal numbing for standard infiltrations and up to 120 minutes for traditional nerve blocks
- Mylar-Wrapped Cartridges:
- Each glass cartridge is fully encased in a flexible Mylar safety label to contain shards and protect clinicians in the rare event of a break
- Hypoallergenic Standard:
- Formulated 100% free of methylparabens and natural rubber latex to prevent severe allergic triggers in sensitive individuals
- Terminal Sterilization:
- The solution and the container undergo post-packaging sterilization, ensuring unparalleled clinical purity
Benefits
- Optimized Surgical Visibility:
- The concentrated 1:100,000 epinephrine constriction dramatically minimizes localized bleeding, creating a clean, unobstructed view for oral surgeons
- Enhanced Clinical Workflow:
- The ultra-fast onset prevents costly downstream chair-time delays, allowing dental hygienists and dentists to work immediately
- Patient Comfort:
- Due to its low 27-minute half-life, the drug clears out of the human bloodstream rapidly once the procedure concludes, minimizing prolonged post-operative numbness
- Enhanced Safety Design:
- Cartridges are individually isolated inside a unique 10-count blister tray that completely prevents glass-to-glass shock or rattling during transit
