The promise of genuinely pain-free treatment remains dentistry’s major challenge.
SOFIC has just got closer to achieving that goal by creating the XL needle, for better patient and practitioner comfort and safety.

XL by SOFIC needles have the same external dimensions as ordinary needles but have an internal diameter up to 38% wider for the 30G and 42% wider for the 27G.
This means that less pressure is required when injecting to administer the same volume of anaesthetic, giving a more sensitive control of flow rate with the benefit of a gentler injection for the patient.

 

 
 

Features and benefits

Thin wall cannula : pressure is less high. The liquid flow is wide and penetrates slowly, with better respect of tissue.

Stainless steel of the cannula in compliance with the ISO 9626
standard.

Silicone-coated cannula : the cannula is treated with liquid silicone for better penetration of the needle into tissues.

Triple bevel : the front end of the cannula is ground to allow smoother penetration into tissues and reduce the possibility of tissue damage.

Bevel indicator : helps localize the bevel and thus aids the practitioner in the accurate placement of all injections.

Threaded hub : the plastic hub thread complies with the ISO 7885 standard relative to « sterile dental injection needles for single use », and fits any syringe complying with the ISO 9997 standard relative to « dental cartridge syringes »).
There are 2 types of threading: inch thread (also called American or non metric) and metric thread (also called European). These 2 threads have different dimensions.

Coloured cap according to the ISO 7885 standard : yellow for 30G and grey for 27G: helps identify the needle.

Paper seal : coloured label sealing the needle, that helps identify the diameter and length of the needle, the batch number, the expiry date and the sterilization mode.

Ethylene oxide sterilization : XL by SOFIC needles are sterilized under ethylene oxide, a validated process under constant control. On request, gamma ray irradiation sterilization is also possible.
