Safe Swift Simple
A-Tap™ Simplifies Intra-articular Injections by Providing One Device for Aspiration & Injection
Why Use The A-Tap™ Technique?
Reduces procedure time
cuts down the number of steps for practitioners
Enables two procedures
with one needlestick
allows aspiration and injection to be carried out with the same device
Minimizes needle movement
improves the treatment experience for patients
Enhances accuracy
Supports "Best Practice" recommendations(1), increasing treatment efficacy
When needle tip position is confirmed by aspiration, treatment efficacy significantly improves
Successful treatment
- Assists in verifying correct position through aspiration
- Reduces exposure of hub to air and handling
- Enables practitioners to be fully engaged and focused on procedures
- Provides improved workflow and equipment accountability
Failed treatment
20% of injections miss the correct site, failing to deliver medication and failing to provide pain relief. (ACSM's Sports Medicine: A Comprehensive Review 2012 I Francis G. O'Connor I pg.126)

What Physicians Say
It makes a cumbersome procedure easier for both the practitioner and the patient.
The A-Tap™ makes the injection procedure cleaner compared to standard care where needle hub is exposed and fluid may leak, especially when switching syringes is common.
Likely to do more aspirations with this device to remove fluid and increase drug concentration, improving efficiency of injection.
