The Rotor Syringe range from Blackwell Supplies is designed to eliminate the use of barbs. The syringe uses the elasticity of the cartridge and thumb disk to induce carefully and easily controlled aspiration and can also be used with the Astra Self-Aspirating Cartridge. This method uses the unique design of the Astra Cartridge to induce aspiration.

The moulded components are made from Peek, offering a lightweight well balanced syringe. It also ensures that components will not rust after repeated exposure to autoclaving or chemicals commonly used within the dental surgery.

New to the range is the 1.8 ml Rotor S/A (self-aspirating) syringe, which has the same construction and benefits of the 2.2 ml, but will accept the 1.8 ml anaesthetic cartridges entering the UK dental market. Also the imperial thread on the Rotor 1.8 ml syringe will accept the imperial thread hub needles currently sold throughout the UK and Ireland.
