Dental Aspirating Syringe DS-1009

Description

A dental aspirating syringe is a specialized tool used by dental professionals for administering local anesthetics to patients. It is designed to help dentists inject anesthetic drugs into the gums and oral tissues safely while allowing them to confirm that they are not injecting into a blood vessel. This is done through the aspiration feature of the syringe.

Here’s how it works and its key features:

Key Features:

1. Aspiration Mechanism: The syringe has a plunger that allows the dentist to pull back the piston slightly once the needle is inserted into the tissue. If blood is drawn into the syringe, it indicates that the needle tip is within a blood vessel, and the dentist can reposition the needle to avoid complications.
2. Needle: The syringe is connected to a small, hollow needle that is used to inject the anesthetic into the appropriate area of the patient’s mouth.
3. Metal Construction: Most aspirating syringes are made of stainless steel or other durable materials, making them easy to sterilize and maintain.
4. Ergonomic Design: The syringe is designed to be easy to handle, often with a pistol-grip design, allowing the dentist to have precise control over the injection.
5. Capacity: Typically, dental aspirating syringes hold small amounts of anesthetic (usually around 1.8 mL), sufficient for local anesthetic injections in the oral cavity.

Benefits:

• Safety: The aspiration feature allows for safer injections by reducing the risk of accidentally injecting into blood vessels.
• Accuracy: It allows for more precise control of the injection, ensuring the anesthetic is delivered to the correct area.
• Comfort: The ergonomic design helps ensure that the dentist can inject without causing unnecessary discomfort to the patient.

Dental aspirating syringes are a fundamental tool for performing many common dental procedures, such as fillings, extractions, and other treatments that require local anesthesia.
