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. (ACSM's Sports Medicine: A Comprehensive Review 2012 I Francis G. O'Connor I pg.126)

The A-Tap™ makes the injection procedure cleaner compared to standard care where needle hub is exposed and fluid may leak, especially when switching syringes is common.

Dr. Delwyn Worthington, MD
