About Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long

The Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long is a precision-engineered tool used by dental professionals for the delivery of local anesthetics. Manufactured to meet strict safety and performance standards, this dental needle features a 27-gauge thickness and a long length (usually about 35mm) to allow for deeper tissue penetration. It is commonly used in procedures that require effective regional anesthesia, such as molar extractions, periodontal surgeries, or endodontic treatments.

The needle is composed of medical-grade stainless steel and features a siliconized surface for reduced penetration force and increased patient comfort. Each needle is pre-sterilized and individually packed in tamper-proof blister packaging to prevent contamination. It is also equipped with a plastic hub color-coded for gauge identification and compatibility with standard dental syringes.

Designed with both practitioner ease and patient comfort in mind, the Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long minimizes tissue trauma and enhances the efficiency of anesthesia administration in a wide range of dental procedures.

Indications of Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long

The Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long is indicated for:

• Administering local anesthesia in dental procedures requiring deep tissue infiltration

• Inferior alveolar nerve blocks, commonly used for mandibular molar extractions

• Posterior superior alveolar nerve blocks for maxillary procedures

• Periodontal surgeries and treatments involving the alveolar bone

• Oral surgeries where deeper anesthetic delivery is necessary

Its length and gauge make it especially suitable for injections that must reach deeper anatomical structures in the oral cavity.

Directions for Use of Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long

Proper technique and safety precautions should be followed when using the Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long:

1. Check the packaging for sterility and damage before opening. Do not use if the seal is broken.

2. Attach the needle to a compatible dental syringe by firmly screwing the plastic hub into place.

3. Remove the protective cap from the needle without bending or contaminating the tip.

4. Aspirate before injection to ensure the needle is not in a blood vessel.

5. Insert the needle gently into the target site using the appropriate angle and depth based on the type of block or infiltration needed.

6. Administer the anesthetic slowly and steadily to minimize discomfort.

7. Dispose of the needle immediately after use in an approved sharps container. Do not recap to avoid needlestick injuries.

Always follow local clinical guidelines and institutional protocols when administering injections.

Contraindications of Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long

The Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long is contraindicated in the following scenarios:

• Patients with hypersensitivity or allergy to stainless steel or other needle materials

• Shallow injections, where a shorter needle is more appropriate and safer

• Procedures requiring fine, superficial infiltration, for which a finer gauge needle may be preferred

• Patients with bleeding disorders, where deep injection increases the risk of hematoma

Selection of the correct needle gauge and length is essential for safety and efficacy.

Side Effects of Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long

While the Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long is designed for safety and comfort, potential side effects may include:

• Localized pain or discomfort at the injection site

• Bruising or hematoma formation, especially in deep block procedures

• Swelling or inflammation due to tissue trauma or allergic reaction

• Nerve injury (rare) if the needle contacts or penetrates a nerve

• Needlestick injury to the practitioner, if disposal is not handled properly

To minimize risks, ensure proper technique, aspiration, and post-injection monitoring are followed.

Storage Information for Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long

• Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture

• Keep in original, sealed packaging until ready for use to maintain sterility

• Avoid crushing or bending the needle while in storage

• Maintain inventory in a rotated stock system (first-in, first-out) to ensure usage before expiration

• Dispose of expired or damaged needles according to medical waste disposal protocols

By following appropriate storage and handling practices, the Dental Needle (DENJECT) G27 Long will remain a safe and effective tool for delivering precise and comfortable anesthesia in dental settings.
