TIL Novocol Petite Syringes were locally discontinued and rebranded/redesigned from an authorized distributor due to complaints.
The official Novocol Petite Aspirating Syringes were ergonomic, especially considering that Filipino professionals are predominantly female with smaller hands OR are compact men like myself. This seemed to have received many recommendations online, though the complaints were valid wherein the carpule wouldn't completely deplete nor would the plunger be smooth. The supposed solution to this was to instead acquire Novocol Fusion, though these are much harder to find now.
Now, I recently acquired the Injecto Standard Aspirating Syringe by Gantech Industries (exclusive distributor) and it is almost 1:1 with the specifications of Novocol Fusion. It has a standard thumb ring and it is an in-between of the Petite and Standard. It depletes completely and follows closely the parts specifications of why the Miltex GripRite Petite Syringe works properly and Septodont/Novocol doesn't. Unfortunately, shipping for the former did seem challenging to find despite being more cost-effective.
Anyway, Novocol/Septodont distribution has been discontinued in the PH since 2024. I wanted to let you guys know that Injecto is the redesigned product, still using the same materials albeit now manufactured by Shanghai Avery Biotechnology Co. Ltd. rather by Novocol Pharma.
Q&As are welcome but I may respond in delay. ☺️
No, I do not distribute dental supplies and I'm a student like most users here. Just sharing my insights because this would seem to be the first mention of its existence online. That is all.
