Local anesthesia without syringes – STA Wand
Experience the Magic Wand
Do you have dental phobia? Do you find it traumatic to visit a dentist? Avoiding the dentist can be detrimental to your oral health as well as your overall health. In most cases, diseases of the oral cavity can lead to harmful diseases and conditions of the entire body and/or vital organs. With dentistry expanding horizons, technology is on the rise and now it is possible for patients to visit the dentist without any fear of pain or injections. The STA or Single Tooth Anesthesia System® unit and The Wand® handpiece have offered an anxiety-free solution for patients. Precise and popular, the STA Wand is an innovative device which is a local dental anaesthetic system and is also the first computer-controlled single tooth anesthesia unit.
The STA Wand is a handpiece that has no metal syringes and offers precision for a single-session injection or an injection for a single tooth. With people believing that pain occurs only when the needle pierces the skin, the important fact is that the pain that results is because of the anaesthetic flowing into the body. As a great option for metal syringes, the STA Wand has many benefits. With its main on-board microprocessor, the STA Wand is able to control the flow, the volume and the pressure of the anaesthetic. The hardware of the STA Wand resembles a small computer tower which has a cartridge at the top. The cartridge is connected to a handpiece that looks like a pen with a very tiny needle. This computerized device has a foot pedal that is used to start the mechanism with single-use disposable tube, wand handpiece and cartridge holder besides emitting beeps that allows the dentist the dentist to gauge the right position of the needle. The STA has two modes with three speeds with the incredible asset of speaking as it says, ‘cruise’ to the dentist who can then judge when to use the cruise control mode.

Displaying efficiency, the STA Wand increases patient comfort, enhances quicker delivery of anaesthesia leveraging numbness with fast recovery of sensation and anaesthetizes one tooth with precision without affecting the adjoining areas.

Being effective in multi-quadrant cases, the STA Wand renders the confirmation for the right place for intraligamentary injections, reduces the anxiety of the patient and delivers the right amount of anaesthesia. Giving the patient comfort and ease, the STA Wand has created the culture of comfort.
