E
introduced by Figge and Scherer in 1947 (needle-less injection)
A. breech-loading, metallic, cartridge-type aspirating
B. breech-loading, plastic, cartridge-type aspirating
C. breech-loading, metallic, cartridge-type self-aspirating
D. pressure syringe (for PDL injection)

E
most often used for IM or IV drug administration
DISPOSABLE SYRINGES
contain a Luer-Lok screw-on needle attachment with no
aspirating tip
DISPOSABLE SYRINGES
not recommended for routine use
DISPOSABLE SYRINGES
minimize the risk of an accidental needlestick injury
SAFETY SYRINGES
possess a sheath that locks over the needle when it is not used
SAFETY SYRINGES
designed to improve on the ergonomics and precision
COMPUTER CONTROLLED LOCAL ANESTHETIC DELIVERY SYSTEMS (C-CLAD)
flow rate of LA delivery is computer controlled
COMPUTER CONTROLLED LOCAL ANESTHETIC DELIVERY SYSTEMS (C-CLAD)
a lightweight handpiece, held in a pen-like grasp, provides
tactile sensation and control compared with the traditional
syringe
COMPUTER CONTROLLED LOCAL ANESTHETIC DELIVERY SYSTEMS (C-CLAD)
ex.: The Wand STA System, Dentapen, Anaject

CARE AND HANDLING OF SYRINGES
Syringe should be washed and rinsed after each use. It should be autoclaved in the same manner as other surgical instruments

T/ F
CARE AND HANDLING OF SYRINGES
After every 5 autoclavings, it should be dismantled and all threaded joints should be lightly lubricated
