How long do you use the syringe after wisdom teeth?
One syringe of salt water (approximately 10 ml) should be used for cleaning each socket. This syringe should be used after meals to help rinse away food that may become trapped in the extraction site. In most cases, your syringe will be used for approximately one week as needed to keep the wound clean.
How do you clean a wisdom tooth socket with a syringe?

Can I use heterogeneous solutions with a microliter syringe?
However, when using heterogeneous solutions with a Microliter syringe, the user must be especially diligent about cleaning the syringe after each use. For more information, see our Hamilton Syringe Care and Use Guide on properly maintaining our syringes.
When was the microliter syringe invented?
Since it first developed the Microliter syringe in 1947, Hamilton has been a pioneer in precision syringe design and manufacturing. Browse Hamilton’s collection of knowledge base articles on glass syringes, including reference information on operating parameters, syringe dimensions, syringe graduations, and sterilization and disinfection.
What is the hamiltonhamilton syringe selection guide?
Hamilton’s Syringe Selection Guide offers a step-by-step process and selection worksheet so that anyone involved in choosing a manual syringe understands all the configuration options, including syringe type, syringe series, volume, syringe termination, and needle point style.
Why is my plunger frozen on my Hamilton microliter?
The deposits on the glass will compromise the tight tolerances between the glass and the plunger resulting in a frozen plunger. Plungers for Hamilton Microliter syringes cannot be interchanged or replaced if damaged. For heterogeneous solutions, a gas tight syringe is the best option.
