How many types of syringes
8
ADA criteria for acceptance of syringes
- durable, withstand sterilzation
- accept wide variety of syringes and needles
- inexpensive, self contained, lightweight, use with 1 hand
- provide effective aspriation that can be seen
what does breech loading mean
loaded from the barrel of the syringe
what are the types of non disposable syringes
- breech loading, metallic cartridge type, aspirating
- ” ,plastic, “,”
- ”,”,”,self aspirating
What are the 4 types of syringes
- nondisposable
- disposable
- safety syringes
- computer controlled
what is a jet injector
- needle free
- high pressure, pushes through mucous membrane
What does the gauge refer to
the diameter of the lumen of the needle, the smaller the number the greater the diameter of the lumen
what are the components of a needles
-bevel, shaft, hub, syringe adaptor, cartridge penetration end
What percent of aspirations were achieved with:
25 gaugue
27 gauge
30 gauge
- 100%
- 87%
- 2%
what are the advantages of larger gauge needles over smaller gauge
- less deflection
- greater acuracy of injection
- less chance of breakage
- easier aspiration
- no difference in pt comfort
what is the length of needles from tip to hub
25 gauge long- 35 mm 27 gauge long- 36mm 27 gauge short- 26 mm 28 gauge long- 31 mm 28 gauge short- 22 mm
what are the approximate lengths of long and short needles
- long 32 mm
- short- 20 mm
how often should needles be changed
after 3 or 4 tissue penetrations
what will weaken the needles and increase likeihood of breakage
bending the needles
if the direction of the needle should be changed when should you do this
it should first be withdrawn almost completely then direction altered
