Nipro Blood Collection Needle

The Nipro Blood Collection Needle is specifically designed for blood collection procedures, commonly known as venipuncture. Its three-beveled, siliconized tip reduces friction during vein insertion, minimizing patient discomfort and improving the efficiency of blood sampling. This design is particularly useful when multiple blood tube samples are required, as it ensures a smoother and more accurate phlebotomy process.

The needle is supplied sterile and is intended for single-use only. This ensures patient safety by preventing cross-contamination between uses. It is compatible with standard blood tube holders, allowing for secure attachment during venipuncture, which helps maintain stability and accuracy during the procedure.

The Nipro Blood Collection Needle is available in multiple gauges, including 20 and 21, among others. The choice of gauge depends on the patient’s vein size and the specific requirements of the blood collection procedure. Larger gauges (e.g., 20) are typically used for easier access in smaller veins, while smaller gauges (e.g., 21) may be preferred for more delicate procedures or patients with fragile veins.

The Nipro Blood Collection Needle is explicitly designed for single-use only. Single-use devices are critical in medical settings to prevent infection transmission and ensure patient safety. Reusing needles can introduce risks such as contamination, infection, or injury, which is why regulatory standards and best practices mandate their disposal after one use.

While the provided data does not specify storage conditions, standard practice for sterile, single-use medical devices like this needle typically involves storing them in a clean, dry environment protected from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture. The packaging should remain intact until use to maintain sterility. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions or any additional guidelines provided in the product documentation.
