Leecaine A Injection 30ml

Leecaine A Injection 30ml contains Lignocaine (21.3mg/ml) and Adrenaline (0.005mg/ml), a combination used to provide local anesthesia and reduce bleeding during various medical and dental procedures.

Benefits

This injection effectively numbs specific areas of the body, blocking pain signals to the brain. The addition of Adrenaline constricts blood vessels, which helps to prolong the anesthetic effect and minimize bleeding, providing a clearer surgical field and improving procedure outcomes. It works quickly to reduce discomfort during invasive procedures.

• Dental and oral procedures, such as tooth extractions and root canals.
