Why Use The A-Tap™ Technique?

 

 

Reduces procedure time

cuts down the number of steps for practitioners

 

 

Enables two procedures
with one needlestick

allows aspiration and injection to be carried out with the same device

 

 

Minimizes needle movement

improves the treatment experience for patients

 

 

Enhances accuracy

Supports best practice recommendations(1), increasing treatment efficacy

(1) OsteoArthritis and Cartilage (2006) 14: Placement of intra-articular injection verified by the backflow technique.

When needle tip position is confirmed by aspiration, treatment efficacy significantly improves

 

Successful treatment

  • Assists in verifying correct position through aspiration
  • Reduces exposure of hub to air and handling
  • Enables practitioners to be fully engaged and focused on procedures
  • Provides improved workflow and equipment accountability

 

 

Failed treatment

20% of injections miss the correct site, failing to deliver medication and failing to provide pain relief.
