Septodont Septanest 1:100000 Local Anaesthetic - 50 x 1.7 ml

Septodont Septanest 1:100000 Local Anaesthetic provides effective local or loco-regional dental anesthesia for patients aged 4 years and older. This solution features articaine hydrochloride (40 mg/ml) as the active anesthetic agent, combined with epinephrine 0.01 mg/ml (1:100,000) to act as a vasoconstrictor.

Designed with patient safety in mind, Septanest 1:100000 is formulated without methylparaben and utilizes 100% latex-free components, reducing the potential for allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
