Can giving an injection actually hurt YOU more than it does your patient?
We hear regularly from Dentists, in all specialties, who share their problems with hand, wrist and arm injuries - caused by repetitive use of a traditional dental syringe.
From Surgeries to Arthritis to Carpal Tunnel, the sheer weight of the manual syringe and it’s limitations of use will take a toll over a career, as practitioners “push and pull” using this older anesthetic administration method.
There is a better way!
At 0.25 ounces, the STA single-use handpiece is the lightest and most tactile solution available in Dentistry – both protecting the most valuable tools in your body, and maximizing your injection skill and technique with the patient. It’s simply a Win-Win technology.
- Pen like grasp – allows you to easily roll the handpiece between your fingers when performing an injection
- No palm extension on aspiration
- Just 0.25 ounces, versus a fully loaded dental syringe at approx. 8 ounces
"I could no longer use my thumb for injections, and had to rely on my assistant to push the plunger after I placed the needle. I had been curious about the STA for years, and the injury finally gave me a reason to try it. The STA handles all the pushing to deliver the anesthetic dose, and it made me realize just how much strain the manual syringe had put on my thumb, hand, and wrist over the years. I purchased it for myself, but I absolutely love it for my patients. It allows me to give pain-free injections, even palatal ones! I now use it for every patient injection.”
