The Journal
The system is designed for single tooth intra
ligamentary injections. It even guides proper
placement and positioning of the needle via
real-time visual and audible feedback,
providing information about the pressure of the
anesthetic solution and the type of tissue
encountered.
A computer program controls the anesthetic
flow to provide low-pressure injections which
results in pain-free & precise anesthetic
delivery, into loose connective tissue or firm
connective palatal mucous membrane. It is a
computerized unit that hubs a cartridge
containing anesthetic. A foot control drives a
plunger rod into the local anesthetic cartridge at
slow speed. A tube connects the unit to a hand
piece with a very tiny needle. The cartridge
holder, tube, and “wand” hand piece are all
single-use disposables.
The microprocessor inside The Wand™
automatically compensates for different tissue
densities and the anaesthetic itself is delivered
at a constant pressure and volume so that the
injection itself is hardly felt.

The Wand Single Tooth Anaesthesia (STA™)
System is the first computer-controlled local
dental anaesthetic machine where just one
injection at a single tooth ensures single-
session injection precision.Single Tooth
Anesthesia system uses vibration to decrease
