Description
The McKesson Blunt Fill Needle, manufactured by BD, serves as a versatile tool for various medical, pharmaceutical, and laboratory procedures. With an 18-gauge, 1-1/2 inch blunt tip, it facilitates the extraction of fluids or medications from vials for transfer or irrigation purposes. Its design enables the draw-up and reconstitution of medications, as well as accessing IV bags, enhancing procedural efficiency.
Featuring a 45° bevel, the needle reduces the risk of accidental needlesticks during use. Its thin-wall construction ensures ease of drawing and mixing viscous medicines, further streamlining the process. The standard luer hub is compatible with all standard luer lock syringes, providing universal applicability.
The red hub and cap allow for quick identification as a fill needle, enhancing safety protocols. Each needle comes individually packaged for convenient single sterile use and includes a protective cover for safer handling and disposal. Designed specifically for penetration into vials and IV bags, it is not intended for patient injection. Latex-free and sterile, this blunt fill needle is available in packages of 1 each, with 100 per box and 10 boxes per case.
