Huber Needle 20G x 0.75 inch

The PIC Solution Huber Needle, with its precise 20-gauge diameter and 0.75-inch length, is a specialized medical device designed for reliable and safe access to implantable ports (port-a-cath systems).

Engineered by PIC Solution, a brand renowned for its commitment to quality and patient care, this needle ensures effective and minimally invasive access for various medical procedures, including chemotherapy, IV fluid administration, and blood sampling.

Its unique non-coring tip is specifically designed to penetrate the port septum without damaging it, thereby extending the life of the port and minimizing complications.

Benefits of Use:

• Optimized Port Integrity: Non-coring design helps prevent damage to the port septum, extending the functional life of the implanted port.
• Enhanced Patient Comfort: Features a sharp, smoothly beveled tip to facilitate easier insertion and reduce patient discomfort.
• Reliable Fluid Flow: Ensures consistent and uninterrupted delivery or aspiration of fluids, crucial for effective treatment.
• Secure Placement: Designed with wings that allow for stable positioning and secure taping to the skin, preventing accidental dislodgement.
• Sterile and Safe: Each needle is individually packaged and sterilized for single-use, providing maximum protection against infection.

How to Use:

1. Ensure sterile technique: Always perform hand hygiene thoroughly and don appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
2. Prepare the port site: Cleanse the skin over the implantable port according to your institution's protocol, typically using an approved antiseptic solution.
3. Locate the port: Palpate the port carefully to confirm its exact location and ensure it is stable.
4. Insert the needle: Stabilize the port with one hand. With the other hand, insert the Huber needle perpendicular to the skin until it firmly contacts the back of the port reservoir.
5. Confirm placement: Gently aspirate for blood return to verify proper venous access, then flush the port with saline as per established protocol.
6. Secure the needle: Use sterile tape or an appropriate transparent dressing to secure the wings of the needle firmly to the skin.
7. Administer therapy: Connect the infusion line or syringe to the needle hub to commence the prescribed therapy.
8. Remove the needle: After completing the therapy, flush the port as per protocol. Remove the needle with a firm, swift motion, applying immediate pressure to the insertion site.

Caution & Warnings:

• Use aseptic technique throughout the insertion and removal process to minimize the risk of infection.
• For single-use only. Do not attempt to resterilize or reuse the needle.
• Inspect the sterile packaging carefully before use. Do not use if the package is damaged, opened, or if the integrity is compromised.
• Use the needle immediately after opening the sterile packaging.
• Dispose of all used needles in a designated, puncture-resistant sharps container to prevent accidental needlestick injuries.
• This product should only be used by trained healthcare professionals.
• Do not attempt to bend, reshape, or modify the needle in any way.
• If any unusual resistance is encountered during insertion or flushing, do not force the needle; withdraw and reassess port access.
