- Designed to increase safety during medication preparation, featuring a red, Luer-Lok™ compatible hub and is intended for drawing medication from vials, not for direct patient injection
Uses
- Safe Medication Preparation:
- Primarily used for withdrawing medication from vials
- Vial Access:
- Designed to easily penetrate vial stoppers without needing a sharp, conventional needle
- Thin Wall Technology:
- Allows for faster, easier aspiration of fluids, including viscous medications
- Standardization:
- Used to reduce the need for a wide variety of conventional needles in clinical settings
Features
- Blunt Tip:
- Specifically engineered to reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries
- 18G x 1" Size:
- Ideal length and gauge for efficient filling
- Red Hub:
- Color-coded for easy identification
- Thin Wall (TW) Design:
- Provides a larger inner diameter compared to regular wall needles, improving flow rates
- No Coring:
- Designed to reduce coring (cutting pieces of rubber) in vial stoppers
- Compatibility:
- Luer-Lok™ compatible
- Material:
- Sterile, stainless steel, non-latex, and single-use
Benefits
- Increased Safety:
- Reduces the risk of needlestick injuries (NSIs) during medication prep
- Improved Efficiency:
- Faster, smoother, and more consistent medication drawing
- Cost Reduction:
- Facilitates SKU reduction for healthcare facilities, leading to lower, more standardized costs
- Maintains Medication Quality:
- Reduces the risk of particle contamination, as it does not core the rubber stopper
- Easy to Use:
- Requires no change in, or special, technique for, medication preparation
