SeleKt+® Dental needles
SeleKt+ dental needles – The gentle solution for effective injections
SeleKt+ offers reliable high-quality products that are easy and safe to handle. We only use first-class steel and innovative grinding for our cannulas.
Benefits
SeleKt+ dental needles - your benefits at a glance:
- With its minimal penetration force the triple bevel is kind to the tissue, ensuring a low initial pain
- Our unique short bevel needles are ideally suited for intraligamentary anaesthesia. They reduce the risk of needle tip bending
- Optimal gliding through soft tissue due to high quality siliconization and excellent steel
- Easy identification of needle lengths due to rainbow color coding system.
Advantages
Unique short bevel needles
The unique short bevel is especially designed for the use in intraligamentary anaesthesia (SeleKt+ needle 30G / 0.3 x 12mm)
Extra short bevels help prevent bending of the needle tip
Cannulas with an extra short bevel can help reduce the risk of forming hooks and corresponding injuries of the soft tissue.
In vitro laboratory tests showed a significantly lower distortion of the needle tip of our short bevel needles.
Improved physical properties
- Only first-class steel and innovative grinding techniques are used for our cannulas
- The triple bevel is kind to the tissue, thus ensures a low initial pain
- Lower forces needed for the most comfortable injection
- Friction force reduced up to 85% in combination with a new siliconization.
Up to 85% lower friction force: The low penetration load of SeleKt+ dental needles makes reliable injections even more gentle.
F0 – Maximum of the piercing phase
F1 – Maximum of the cutting phase
F2 – Maximum of the dilatation phase
FR – Mean value of the friction phase (55% to 95% of the testing length).
Easy identification
The colour coding of SeleKt+ is based on the wavelength of light and its colour range. The greater the wavelength of the coding colour, the longer the injection cannula. You can therefore select the right needle at a glance.
Updated assortment
- Our updated assortment is based on the most requested sizes
- More safety with high quality paper labels: Paper labels can improve the safety in your dental office as you can easily tell whether the needle has been opened prior to use
Science
Intraligamentary anaesthesia (ILA) or periodontal ligament injection (PDL) is a patient-friendly single tooth anaesthetic technique.
The term intraligamentary anaesthesia does not refer to the pathway of anaesthetic agent spread but to the site of needle injection. Therefore the injection needle is inserted about 1-2 mm into the 0.15 to 0.38 mm wide periodontal gap until a slight resistance can be felt.
For best results, extra short bevel needles are recommended (1,2).
