Anesthetic Accessories

Accuject Needles

Each box contains 100 Sterile Needles.
Needles are imprinted with a red dot that indicates the needle’s bevel position before cap is removed, reducing potential for inadvertent needle sticks and ensuring injection accuracy.
Even when the needle’s point is below the gum line, the red dot shows the bevel position.
Needles are designed with a pre-threaded plastic hub for use with standard dental syringes.
Stability is maximized through exterior self-tapping ribs and interior threading.
Needles are packaged in sterile, non-pyrogenic, individual color-coded unit containers.
Color-coded plastic hubs and boxes allow for quick, easy identification.
Every Accuject needle is optically inspected and ethylene oxide sterilized.
Every product lot is tested prior to shipment.

Jenker Needle Recapper

The Jenker Needle Recapper is a receptacle for holding the needle cap for one-handed recapping after injection. Use of the Jenker Needle Recapper can prevent accidental needle stick injuries and eliminate a source of cross contamination of infectious diseases.
