Description

The AGANI SAFETY NEEDLE, crafted by Terumo, is a sterile, single-use hypodermic needle designed to enhance safety and comfort in medical settings. Its primary function is the injection or aspiration of fluids, such as drugs or blood, making it an essential tool for healthcare professionals.

Key Features

• Safety Mechanism:

• The needle features a one-hand activation safety shield that locks securely after use, providing audible feedback and visual confirmation through a clear sheath window. This design significantly reduces the risk of accidental needle stick injuries, aligning with European Directive 2010/32/EU on sharps injury prevention.

• Needle Design:

• The needle boasts a sharp, precisely shaped lancet point for easy skin penetration, minimizing trauma. Its silicone-coated cannula ensures smooth insertion, reducing discomfort. The thin-walled, double bevel design enhances flow rate and is latex-free. Specific models offer a steeper point angle to lower the risk of vascular perforation.
