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.
