The VibraShield™ comes in a convenient dispenser box containing 30 shields (Part No. VS04). VibraShield is CE marked and has a Patent pending.

The VibraShield™ Needle Capping Protector provides a simple and economical solution, as compared to the more expensive and bulky mechanical devices presently available. Its large size provides for a more than adequate shield when recapping the needle, and also acts as a stand for the syringe when not in use.

The VibraShield fits most disposable dental needles, including Sherwood Monoject, Septodont Septoject‚ and Dentsply Accuject. It does not fit, and should not be used with Becton-Dickinson needles, or any other needles that would not fit snugly around the sheath.

The VibraShield is to be used for one day only and discarded. It cannot be heat sterilized, but can be wiped with a surface disinfectant. Do not use the VibraShield when it no longer fits tightly on the needle sheath.

1 Assemble needle on the syringe in the normal way.

2 Slide the VibraShield™ over the needle sheath with the concave side facing the needle’s point. Seat firmly against the shoulder of the sheath.

3 Remove the needle sheath with the VibraShield™ just prior to the injection.

Needle sticks are rare occurrences, but in today’s world they are extremely dangerous.

CDC recommends, “An engineered sharps injury protection device should be employed for recapping needles between uses and before disposal.

Besides the potential of acquiring HIV/AIDS or hepatitis, the required precautionary treatment for percutaneous injuries is expensive and time consuming.
