Aspirating syringe 1.8 cc

is a dental instrument used primarily for delivering local anesthesia in dental procedures. Here’s a breakdown of its use and purpose:

✅ Purpose: To inject local anesthetic into the soft tissues near the nerves to numb a specific area before procedures like:

Tooth extraction, Cavity preparation, Periodontal treatments or Root canal therapy

✅ "Aspirating" Function:

• The syringe allows the dentist to pull back (aspirate) the plunger slightly before injecting.
• This helps check if the needle is in a blood vessel (to avoid accidental intravenous injection).
• If blood is aspirated, the needle is repositioned for safe injection.

Why 1.8 cc?

• Dental anesthetic cartridges usually hold 1.8 mL (cc) of solution.
• The syringe is specifically sized to fit and operate these standard dental cartridges.

Components:

• Harpoon-type piston: Allows aspiration
• Barrel: Holds the 1.8 cc cartridge
• Finger grips and thumb ring: For controlled handling during injection
