The harpoon on traditional aspirating syringes can pull the rubber stopper completely out of the anesthetic carpule when trying to unload or change cartridges, which is not only unsafe, but wastes precious time as well. Invented by a dentist, the plunger on the Pike Anesthetic Syringe features a modified sleeve that positively separates the harpoon from the stopper when retracted. The syringe’s patent-pending design works every time, so practitioners will never have to deal with this hassle again. The Pike Syringe is fully autoclavable and compatible with all standard anesthetic carpules and needles.
