Description

The GRIPPER PLUS® POWER P.A.C. Safety Huber Needle is expertly designed for healthcare professionals requiring reliable access to implanted ports. This specialized needle is engineered to enhance safety and performance, particularly in environments where power injection of contrast media is necessary.

Key Features

• Safety Mechanism: The needle features an advanced safety mechanism that activates upon removal, providing both an audible click and visible engagement. This ensures the needle is securely locked in place, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries and exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

• Power Injection Capability: Designed for use with compatible power-injectable venous access ports, it supports power injection rates of up to 5 mL/sec and 300 psi. The power-injectable versions are easily identifiable by blue tubing and printed clamps.

• Non-Coring Design: The non-siliconized, non-coring needle minimizes tissue damage, while the thick cushioned platform enhances patient comfort during use.

Design and Usability

• Port Access: The 90° port access design, along with a removable contoured grip, allows for precise and comfortable insertion.

• Color-Coded Clamps: These provide easy identification, and the extension set options include clear blue tubing for power-injectable versions.

• Priming Volume: Available in configurations with priming volumes of 0.3 mL and 0.8 mL, depending on the presence of a Y-site.

Additional Specifications

• MR Conditional: Safe for use in MRI environments up to 3 Tesla.
