Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present Invention relates to an anesthesia delivery system comprising a nanosphere forming a bubble into which an anesthesia is introduced and delivered with a cotton swab to a site to be treated. In one embodiment the anesthesia is Lidocaine, a synthetic amide, C 14 H 22 N 2 O, used chiefly in the form of its hydrochloride as a local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic agent. 
       DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART 
       [0002]    Anesthetics and anesthesia&#39;s are well known. However, delivery of same using a nanosphere carrier is not known. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    According to the teachings of the present invention, nanospheres are filled with anesthesia in different percentages for delivery via a swab of absorbent material to a selected delivery site. 
     
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    In use of the teachings of the invention, nanospheres, such as the ones obtained from are saturated with a dose of an anesthetic, such as a blend of anesthetyic and water. For example Dentists use 2 mg, 4 mg, and 6 mg doses of Lidocaine. 
         [0005]    Nanospheres are saturated with:
       A 30% anesthetic for a 6% dose.   A 20% anesthetic for a 4% dose   A 10% anesthetic for a 2% dose       
 
         [0009]    Empirical tests show that delivery of nanospheres saturated with one of the doses set forth above to a specified area relieves pain in that area without numbing adjacent areas. 
         [0010]    Ingredients in one preferred embodiment are: 
         [0000]                                                          % w/w   Vendor                                    DI Water   up to 100%     In-house       Glycerin 99%    5.0%   Univar       Thixogel XLG    2.0%   TCR       Sodium Saccharin   0.25%   Univar       Polysorbate 80    1.0%   Univar       Flavor (Spearmint oil)   0.25%   Integrity Ingredients       Citric Acid   0.025%    Any       Potassium Sorbate   0.15%   Any       Sodium Benzoate   0.05%   Any       Lidocaine   40.0%   Salvona       Alcohol 38B   10.0%   Remet (Alcohol denatured               with menthol)                    
Add the Thixogel to the water slowly, while mixing. Mix for 10 minutes. Add the Sodium Saccharin and mix for 5 minutes. Premix the flavor with the Polysorbate 80 and add to the product. Add all other ingredients in order.

         [0011]    In one embodiment a dentist uses a 1/16 diameter pipe that fits on the end of the applicator instead of a needle. It is about ¾″ long and then makes a 90% bend and entends ¾″ to an opening of the pipe. The dentist can put this device on the end of a capsule filled with anesthesia saturated nanospheres and put a spot of it on the top of the tooth to be fixed. It is similar to using a hyperdermic except without the needle. The dentist uses the bent pipe instead of a needle. Also the dentist can apply the anesthesia saturated nanosheres to the gum area adjacent the tooth. 
         [0012]    From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that the system of the present invention has a number of advantages, namely delivery of a sufficient quantity of antiseptic to a specific area to relieve pain without numbing adjacent areas. Accordingly the scope of the present invention is only to be limited by the accompanying claims.
