What is Securinject ?

Accidental needle stick injuries and cross infection are serious concerns in modern day dentistry. They pose a significant risk to dental professionals and their patients. Due to their limited awareness and recognition, accidental needle stick injuries and cross infections are known as silent killers.

Securinject is a single use safety syringe for dental anaesthesia. It is an award winning patent protected innovation which prevents accidental needle stick injuries and cross infections in line with OSHA, Health and Safety (Sharp Instruments in Healthcare) Regulations 2013 and European Council Directive 2010/32/EU (the Sharps Directive).

Securinject, on average, provides a 50% cost savings in comparison to a reusable dental syringe per use. This equates to savings of 1200 USD per dentist annually.
