Itra-Ligamental Syringe

Itra-Ligamental Syringe, 1.8ml, Metric Thread

In contrast to traditional anesthesia, which involves an entire area, intraligamental anesthesia is less invasive and less bothersome. The anesthetic is locally injected directly into the ligament of the tooth; this ensures rapid, deep, and total anesthesia of an individual tooth.

Intraligamental syringe for single-tooth anesthesia.
Provides a direct injection into the periodontal ligament.
Syringe accepts standard plastic hub needles.
Autoclavable.

The intraligament anesthesia technique is used for the treatment of individual teeth through an injection between the alveolar crest and the tooth root. With this technique the needle is inserted through the gingival sulcus into the periodontal space along the mesial or distal surface of the tooth: the anesthetic solution must be injected slowly keeping a constant and moderate pressure to facilitate the distribution of the liquid. Contraindicated in the presence of deep periodontal pockets and gingival acute infection.

Precautions:
Syringes must be sterilized prior to use. See the sterilization instructions.
Hubs cannot be removed. Do not attempt to remove hub from the syringe for sterilization or for any reason as damage to the syringe will occur.
Do not mix with metals in sterilization, other non chrome-plated brass instruments may cause damage to syringes.
Do not use cold sterilants, as they will react to the chrome plating of the syringe.
Keep needle capped while affixing or removing from syringe.
