Septodont Lignospan Special 2% - 2.2ml (50)

Septodont Lignospan Special 2% - 50 x 2.2ml Glass Cartridges

Lignospan Special from Septodont is Lidocaine Hydrochloride 2% with Adrenaline (epinephrine) 1:80,000. For production of local anaesthesia for dental procedures.

What is Lignospan Special and what is it used for?

Lignospan Special is given by injection to cause loss of feeling before and during dental procedures.

It contains two active ingredients:

• Lidocaine hydrochloride, a local anaesthetic, which prevents pain,
• Adrenaline tartrate, a vasoconstrictor which makes the effect last longer. Adrenaline narrows the blood
  vessels at the site of injection, which keeps the anaesthetic where needed for a longer time. It also controls
  the bleeding during the surgery.

Lidocaine was the first amino-amide type of local anaesthetic. It was first synthesized in 1943 and represented a real
pharmaceutical breakthrough because it offered a lower risk of allergic reactions compared to ester anaesthetics.

Over the years, it has attained the status of gold standard for dental analgesia and it is still the historical reference.

Lignospan Special is for adults, children and adolescents.

Only a dentist can administer this product.
