Structural components of Syringe Micro Vibrator (SMV) and its mounting position on dental syringe barrel. A) Posterior-anterior view of SMV, structural components consist of: a) stainless steel shell containing motor and eccentrically weighted plate, b) power switch, c) stainless steel cap, d) four flexible attachment arms for firm attachment and e) shell concavity for well adaptation on syringe barrel. B) Anterior-posterior view of SMV and stainless steel cap bearing button cell batteries, C) SMV is applicable to most standard conventional syringes which compensates minute variations of different barrel diameters through four flexible grasping positioning arms and shell concavity, D) SMV mounted on syringe barrel and E) Lateral syringe view indicates that mounting of SMV causes no restriction for the replacement of cartridge.
