Onpharma

Onpharma is a medical technology company that specializes in the development of advanced local anesthetic delivery systems for the dental industry. The company's core innovation is the Onset technology, a point-of-care buffering system that allows dental professionals to adjust the pH of local anesthetics immediately before administration. By neutralizing the acidity of traditional anesthetic solutions, Onset facilitates a faster transition to the active base form of the drug, leading to more rapid pulpal anesthesia and reduced injection pain. This technology aims to improve clinical efficiency by decreasing patient waiting times and increasing the predictability of anesthetic success. Onpharma was acquired by Sextant in 2014 and continues to provide its buffering solutions to the global dental market.
