Evaluators’ Comments

  • “The clear sheath being incorporated right on the needle is a great idea.”
  • “It was easy to sheath and un-sheath the needle.”
  • SimpleCap provides the ability to prevent needle stick injury while providing painless injections, due to the quality of the needle sharpness, at the same time.”
  • “The added safety feature gives me peace of mind.”
  • “I liked not having to worry about the cap falling on the floor and having an exposed needle on the tray.”
  • “I liked having the option of delivery to the mouth with the barrier in place. I found this to especially be a great option for a restless patient.”
  • “The size of the product took up more space in the sharps container.”
  • It was more difficult to see around the sheath when administering certain injections such as a PSA.”

Indication

  • Injection of dental anesthetic

Clinical Tips

  • You can keep the needle sheathed and expose it just before injecting to obscure it from the patient.
  • Don’t bend the needles if you anticipate you will need to reinject.
  • It is a little different than what you are used to, so make sure you and your assistants watch the training videos. There is a very good troubleshooting video as well.
