Abstract

This is a Rapid Local Anesthesia Linear Injection Device. It is made of a very simple triangular shaped piece of clear plastic with encased conduits connecting a flange on the tip of the cone where a Luer lock syringe can attach, and the base where there are a multiple tiny hypodermic needles protruding from the base of the triangle. The number of needles would be directly proportional to the length of the base of the device. It would be available in many sizes identified by the shape and the length of the base.

Claims

1. A device for the injection of local anesthesia comprising:

a triangular-shaped plastic device with a base on one end and a chamber and a flange on an opposite end, with a plurality of conduits that run from the chamber to a plurality of needles that extend out from the base with the needles having a length from 3 to 5 millimeters, having a delivery device connected to the flange and having a foam strip attached to the base covering the needles.

2. A device according to claim 1 further comprising having the base in a long rectangular shape.

3. A device according to claim 1 further comprising having the base in an arc shape with a flat, planar bottom.

4. A device according to claim 1 further comprising having the delivery device be a Luer-lock syringe.

5. A device according to claim 1 further comprising having the delivery device being self-contained means attached to the chamber.

6. A device according to claim 5 further comprising having the self-contained means as an ampule.

7. A device according to claim 1 further comprising having the foam strip contain a skin-marking dye.

8. A device according to claim 7 further comprising having the skin-marking dye be color-coded to identify the injection.

9. A device for local anesthesia injection comprising:

a triangle-shaped device with a base on one end and a chamber and a flange on an opposite end, with a plurality of conduits that run from the chamber to a common chamber in the base which is connected to a plurality of needles that extend out from the base with the needles having a length from 3 to 5 millimeters, having a delivery device connected to the flange and having a foam strip attached to the base covering the needles.

10. A device according to claim 9 further comprising having the base in a long rectangular shape.

11. A device according to claim 9 further comprising having the base in an arc shape with a flat, planar bottom.

12. A device according to claim 9 further comprising having the delivery device be a Luer-lock syringe.

13. A device according to claim 9 further comprising having the delivery device being self-contained means attached to the chamber.

14. A device according to claim 13 further comprising having the self-contained means as an ampule.

15. A device according to claim 9 further comprising having the foam strip containing a skin-marking dye.

16. A device according to claim 15 further comprising having the skin-marking dye color-coded to identify the injection.
