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.
