Traditional straight needles pose challenges for dentists and veterinarians when injecting anaesthetics into hard-to-reach areas of the mouth, particularly around the molars and wisdom teeth. These needles often require awkward positioning, causing discomfort to patients and risking improper injections.
The Solution
This innovative angled needle features a bent design that improves access to difficult regions. The needle comprises a proximal end for syringe attachment, a distal end with a sharp tip, and an angled section between two straight regions. The bend, ranging between 41° and 100°, allows precise targeting of injection points in tight spaces.
What’s New?
Unlike conventional needles, this design incorporates a calculated curvature that extends the needle’s reach without compromising strength or usability. The curve reduces resistance during insertion, enhancing both accuracy and patient comfort. This design uniquely positions the angled region away from the syringe hub, simplifying navigation through restricted areas.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Precision: Reaches hard-to-access oral regions effortlessly.
- Improved Comfort: Minimizes awkward hand positions for practitioners and discomfort for patients.
- Versatile Design: Made from durable materials like stainless steel, ensuring reliability and safety.
- Wide Compatibility: Works with standard syringes and adheres to established medical standards.
Broader Impact
This needle can transform dental and veterinary practices by simplifying procedures, reducing patient discomfort, and enhancing procedural accuracy. Its potential extends beyond anaesthetics, offering applications in other medical fields requiring precise injections in restricted areas. This invention stands out as a practical and innovative solution to a longstanding challenge, promising improved outcomes for practitioners and patients alike.
