RØNVIG Dental Mfg., a member of the Directa Dental Group, announces that their device for computer-assisted local anesthesia, CALAJECT™, has received the esteemed recognition of “2022 Top Award Winner – Anesthetic Device” by Dental Advisor.

CALAJECT was evaluated by six consultants and used 153 times in total during the evaluation. The highlighted features were:

✓ Ergonomic unit with small footprint

✓ Good visual displays and auditory signal

✓ Controls flow of local anesthetic

✓ Automated aspiration

CALAJECT™ was designed to deliver more comfortable injections. The system controls the flow rate, which ensures a smooth and gentle flow of anesthesia. Even palatal injections can be carried out with less discomfort for the patient. Once anxious patients have learned that dental shots don’t hurt, they tend to relax and become confident, a big advantage for both patient and dentist.

The secret is an intelligent and gentle administration of the anesthetic solution which prevents the pain that typically occurs when an injection is given too quickly. CALAJECT features three program settings which are carefully designed for the most common local anesthesia techniques used in the oral cavity: intraligamental and palatal injections, infiltrations and nerve block anesthesia.

The pen-grip allows the operator to sit in a relaxed and ergonomic position while injecting. No finger power is needed and any strain on muscles and joints is avoided. In addition, the possibility of obtaining a good finger support allows you to hold the needle perfectly still during injection, which gives good control of the position of the needle tip. Combined with the automatic aspiration feature, safe injections are made easier to perform.

The following are just some of the comments made by the evaluators:

✓ “Easy to see the remaining anesthetic and listen to the auditory beep for speed/pressure.”

✓ “I really liked the small footprint and high-tech look of the unit.”

✓ “Easy to set up and load/unload.”

✓ “No extra disposable tubing to deal with.”

✓ “Every single patient loved it.”

✓ “Simple concept, great ergonomics without thumb pain or contortion.”
