- Designed for the injection and aspiration of fluids, with a key focus on healthcare worker safety through an integrated, versatile safety mechanism
Uses:
- Intramuscular (IM) injections:
- Used for administering medications deep into muscle tissue, particularly in larger adult patients or for medications requiring deeper delivery
- Venipuncture:
- Suitable for routine blood collection, especially when a good flow rate is desired
- Aspiration of fluids:
- Drawing up medications or collecting other body fluids
Features:
- Hinged Safety Sheath:
- An integral, hinged safety sheath covers the needle after use to prevent accidental contact with the contaminated needle, a key feature for preventing needlestick injuries and complying with OSHA guidelines
- Three Activation Modes:
- The safety mechanism can be activated in three versatile ways to suit clinician preference and clinical situation: using the thumb, finger, or against a hard surface
- Audible and Tactile Confirmation:
- The sheath provides an audible and tactile click when securely locked in place, confirming activation
- Secure Locks:
- Hub and needle locks provide security post-activation to minimize the risk of the needle being re-exposed
Benefits:
- Enhanced Comfort:
- Terumo needles are widely praised for their exceptional sharpness, with some comparisons finding them 10% sharper than similar BD safety needles
- The T-Sharp™ technology and a smooth, triple-bevel design allow for less penetration force, which results in more comfortable injections and minimal tissue trauma for the patient
- Accurate Medication Delivery:
- The precision engineering and thin wall technology ensure optimal flow rates and accurate medication delivery, reducing the risk of dosage errors and clogging
- Safe for Allergies:
- The latex-free construction makes the needle suitable for patients with latex sensitivities, ensuring safe use for all patients
- Reduced Risk of Needlestick Injuries:
- The integrated, hinged safety sheath provides robust protection against accidental needlestick injuries, which is the leading benefit for clinical safety
- This helps facilities comply with OSHA safety regulations
- Versatile and Intuitive Activation:
- The safety mechanism can be activated in three ways, offering flexibility to suit individual preferences and clinical situations
- Confident Use:
- The activation provides an audible, visible, and tactile confirmation of a secure lock, ensuring the safety feature is properly engaged
- Improved Workflow Efficiency:
- Features like the color-coded hub for quick size identification and separate non-slip grips for better control save time during procedures
- Standardization:
- The broad range of sizes available in the SurGuard 3 line allows for standardization across various hospital departments, simplifying inventory and training
