Irrigation is the indispensable partner to mechanical instrumentation in endodontics, responsible for eliminating pulp tissue, microbes, and debris from areas files cannot reach. The design of the irrigation needle is critical to its efficacy and safety. Our Disposable Side-Vented Endo Irrigation Needles are specifically engineered to maximize irrigation flow while minimizing the risk of accidental extrusion of irrigant beyond the apical foramen.
Traditional end-opening needles can potentially force sodium hypochlorite and other solutions periapically, leading to severe chemical burns and patient discomfort. Our needles feature a sealed, rounded tip with a side-port vent located near the end. This design allows for safe placement slightly short of the full working length. As the irrigant is expressed, it flows laterally, creating a gentle swirling action that improves debridement of fins, isthmuses, and anastomoses without generating dangerous pressure peaks at the apex.
Manufactured from medical-grade polymer, these needles are flexible yet kink-resistant, allowing them to navigate curved canals with ease. They are designed to fit securely onto standard Luer-Lock syringes, providing a leak-free connection during agitation. Being disposable, they eliminate the risk of cross-contamination between patients and ensure a perfectly clean, patent port for every procedure.
Available in various gauges (diameters) and lengths to suit different canal anatomies, from narrow anteriors to large molars, these needles are an essential consumable for modern endodontic practice. They empower clinicians to perform aggressive, effective irrigation with significantly enhanced safety, contributing to superior biochemical cleansing of the root canal system.
