Securinject is a single-use safety syringe for dental anesthesia. It is an award-winning, patent-protected innovation that prevents accidental needle stick injuries and cross infections in dental practice.
Why use SecurInject?
Accidental needlestick injuries (NSIs) and cross infection are serious concerns in modern-day dentistry and are also known as Silent Killers. NSIs mainly occur due to recapping, passing of syringes, and improper disposal of waste which can further transmit blood-borne diseases such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV as well as blastomycosis, cryptococcosis, diphtheria, herpes, malaria, mycobacteriosis, syphilis, etc. Needlestick injuries may also lead to psychiatric morbidity including post-traumatic stress disorder.
A dentist administers an estimate of 2000 injections per year. The average cost of managing a needle stick injury is USD 747.
Key Features of SecurInject
- An easy-to-use locking mechanism that allows to safely dismantle used needles for disposal.
- Aesthetically appealing
- Single-use design to prevent cross-contamination
- Cost-Effective: Securinject provides approximately 50% cost savings in comparison to a reusable dental syringe per use, which means a saving of 1200 USD per dentist annually.
