Designed for Safer Medication Preparation
The Blunt Fill Needle with 5 Micron Filter is designed to support safer medication preparation by helping to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries. Intended for drawing up fluids from ampoules or vials, this 18G × 1.5” (1.2 × 38mm) needle is cut at a 45° angle to minimise coring of vial stoppers and includes a 5 micron filter to capture particulate matter. Its blunt bevel requires significantly more force than a conventional needle to pierce skin, helping to eliminate unnecessary sharps during preparation. Suitable for use with the double needle technique and compatible with viscous medications, it offers a practical, cost-conscious solution for medication handling. Free from latex, PVC, DEHP, and Bisphenol A.
