ABSTRACT A device has been fabricated for reducing the dose of local anaesthetic drugs necessary for axillary (Axilla-armpit) block anaesthesia. The conventional procedure for axillary block anaesthesia consumes near maximal dose of local anaesthetic drug. The present device helps in bringing down the dose of the drug. Reduction of the dose of local anaesthetic drug brings downs the chance of toxicity due to over dosage. This facilitates repeat use of the drug and also use of additional drug for simualtaneous operation at other sites of the body. The reduced dose also lessens the cost of anaesthesia.
