These X-Short needles are great for pediatric dentistry - they're a Practicon exclusive! Here are the specs:
33 Gauge X-Short (14mm) Dental Needles from TSK are the world’s finest gauge dental needles. With a diameter of only 0.26mm, the needles reduce cutting area by 58% compared to 27G needles—and 25% compared to 30G. The needles have a smaller, ultra-sharp cutting blade, which drastically reduces pinch and pain “memory” with all infiltration and PDL injections. They fit all standard dental syringes and feature a yellow plastic hub with bevel indicator mark.
New 31G X-Short (12mm) Dental Needles with pink hubs are now also available. With a diameter of only 0.28mm, the needles reduce cutting area by 51% compared to 27G needles.
Anyone who's tried these, let me know what you think of them - I'd love to hear your feedback!
