One-handed safety needle activation designed to help prevent catheter occlusion

Safety huber needle with single hand activation
Catheter occlusion prevention

  • Catheter occlusion is the most common complication in the long-term use of implantable ports. (Up to 21.5% of catheters may be occluded).(2)
  • Allows easy application of positive pressure during needle withdrawal thereby reducing the incidence of reflux.(1)(3)
  • Reduces overall procedure costs associated with fibrinolytic drugs, personnel and facility expenditures.

Needlestick prevention(5)

  • Virtually eliminates needlestick injuries by covering the entire needle (tip & shaft) with a protective sleeve.
  • Single-hand activation eliminates risk of rebound needle stick injury

Access Site Visibility

  • Excellent visibility of access site in case of inflammation or exsudation.

Ergonomic Design(6)

  • Tactile feel and visual indication of safety mechanism engagement
  • Color coded for easy gauge size recognition
  • Siliconized needle
  • Closed cell foam

Approved for MRI procedured and CT scan injections

Max Flow rate:

  • 22G = 2ml/sec
  • 19G & 20G = 5ml/sec

** Max Pressure setting recommended: 300 psi / 20.7 Atm
