General Medical are UK distributors for Quicksleeper, the computer controlled local anaesthetic system that delivers profound anaesthesia quickly, easily and painlessly.

Quicksleeper enables dentists to perform osteocentral anaesthesia whereby a small amount of conventional local anaesthetic is placed in the spongy bone in between teeth.

Eliminating the need for painful infiltration, block and palatal injections it delivers a profound anaesthesia almost instantaneously, useful especially when treating children and other potentially nervous patients. Because it acts locally and does not create lingual anaesthesia or the 'thick lip' associated with ID and mental blocks there is no risk of the patient biting the lip and it is safe to use bilaterally on the mandible.

Using Quicksleeper it is possible to anaesthetise between two and eight teeth with just one injection without the need for additional palatal or buccal injections – enabling more treatment to be performed per session.

Completely pain-free osteocentral anaesthesia is effective even in the presence of pulpitis and can be employed for all forms of treatment including extractions and implantology. It is easily transported between surgeries.
