In recent decades, medical modernization has progressed to new heights by providing high-quality services to clients. Inventions and modifications to existing equipment are critical to realizing these advancements. In today’s episode, Michael Infanger discusses his inventions, which help dentists and hygienists deliver better care to their patients.
Michael’s Background
[01:10]
Michael was a computer engineer who hung out with college kids. People assumed he was a dental student since he would join them at their parties and events. Because of this, he married a dental student at the time.
[02:48]
There’s a $20 billion market for safety syringes on the medical side. Michael’s team then began to examine the workflow and how dentists and hygienists function to determine that all they needed to do was be very conscious of the change. They needed to produce a minor deviation in the process but had a significant impact.
Unique Invention
[05:46]
Instead of a needle that slides back up, Michael chose a retractable sheath that you grip with your hands in a specified position. It’s meant to recap that needle and allows you to guide your eye and where it needs to go and not go. When a needle bends during a process, it is easy to recap this. When you throw it and pull it off, it’s pretty challenging to get it back, especially the needle, once the syringe is removed.
[06:37]
The best needles are safer, lasts longer, and cause less harm to the patient. They looked at several coating technologies, but what was available on the market at the time was not relevant. There are a lot of tough coatings that flake or fracture and flex, and needles frequently deflect during procedures that don’t function, so those coatings can’t be used. They constructed their coding over a long period, employing technology found in nature journals or provided by the researcher, to develop a robust system and very low friction over low friction and flexible enough to flex.
The System of Injections
[08:23]
A significant portion of injection pain is psychological. So, if you have a product that you are familiar with, it will cause minor damage. If you tell a patient that, they can be offended. Oh, that’s intriguing. It’s worth having a needle fear to prime the patient if something you know works. There are a lot of absolute agonies associated with needles, and it’s something that anyone can and should adopt. More significantly, you should consider the system as a whole.
Creating Safer Syringes
[11:22]
Michael’s team is developing their syringe, slimmer, and a smaller reengage for the hygiene community. They discovered that out of 50 hygienists, 40, or some odd states, can provide injections when they invented this. Because they know that the neighborhood is primarily women, they believe injections will be given out in large quantities.
[12:50]
It’s shaped like the current dental needle. This system will be aligned with your syringe as before. Threading is incorporated into the needle, so it slides on effortlessly, and a distinctive clicking sound indicates when it’s secure. Then remove the top capsule as before. On either side of the needle are two little buttons that we call our low-profile grip, where you rest your finger on those palms down and hold and spin the sheath. Dismantle the cyber sheath. The sheath covers the syringe, but the exposed aspiration needles may be seen through the side slots. It’s deliberate.
[14:18]
When teaching how far to give your injection in primary school, the long is most definitely not the only length. The size of Michael’s designed needle with that coating is what dental schools talk about when deciding how to inject, so you won’t have to worry about going in too deep. You merely sit down in your seat, and the black paint fades away. The sheet is about one millimeter thick, allowing the needle sheath to sit a bit further back. As a result, it won’t get in the way of your operation, and it doesn’t get in the form of you injecting.
The Challenge of the Pandemic
[18:30]
Michael was already marketing various safety disposables before the epidemic. However, the pandemic showed them that managing inventory and stabilizing pricing is challenging. They do it on their lunch break or whenever they have free time. Michael’s team tries to roll all of those safety disposables that you use chairside into a subscription platform.
[21:43] They can accomplish this in part in the supply management chain because they work on a subscription basis, go-to vendors, and allot six or twelve months of inventory to them. They are unconcerned about running out of supplies. Or they might inform us, “Hey, we’re going to be low in four months.” As a result, they may want to stock up at a different location. However, during the month when Michael’s team is working with your office, they are unconcerned about running out of supplies.
Purchasing Michael’s Product
[23:57]
Since there is no minimum purchase requirement, you continue customizing until you have a unique setup based on how you purchase. If there is a central purchasing area or office, each can buy what they require, but the main person can log into town and get a comprehensive report of what each office has been purchasing and how frequently they purchase.
