The VibraJect and VibraJect R3 are dental needle accessory devices. The small, easy-to-use vibrating dental needle accessory is an effortless way to make patients of all ages more comfortable and eliminates the fear of injections. The VibraJect reduces the discomfort of painful palatal, mandibular block, infiltration, and intraligamental injections, while offering a great deal of emotional relief to needle-phobic and the unusually pain-sensitive patients.
VibraJect reduces pain from dental injections based upon the Gate Control Theory of Pain Management. The battery operated motor clips onto a conventional syringe and when turned on, the motor vibrates thus causing the needle to vibrate. The high frequency vibration of the needle stimulates nerve endings, causing the high frequency nerve cells to block the transmission of low frequency pain sensing nerve cells to the brain. Thus the patient’s body senses vibrations not the pain of the injection.
VibraShield is a simple and economical needle capping protector that meets all OSHA requirements. VibraShield is placed over the dental needle cap and used to help prevent needle sticks during recapping. Dental professionals should keep their fingers on the VibraShield while recapping the needle. This helps keep their hands and fingers away from the needle. A VibraShield can be used throughout the day but must be wiped down with a disinfectant between patients. At the end of the day it should be discarded.
