About Product

Safety Huber needle with single hand activation: decreased blood exposure risk versus double activated device

As vascular access experts, we know how important it is for patients and clinicians, that the combination of implantable ports and Huber needles maximise treatment effectiveness and minimise risks.

Key qualities in the design of our Huber needles include safety features to protect against needlestick injuries and to minimise the risk of  occlusion after the needle is withdrawn.

Other benefits include ease of use with single hand activation and a simple, straight-forward withdrawal process.

In addition to the comprehensive benefits in our polyperf safe Huber needle, the Vygon range features needles with special features to address particular clinical needs. They are:

  • PPS flow + – single-handed removal plus automatic positive pressure helps to reduce catheter occlusion
  • PPSCT – power injection compatible Huber needle for use with contrast agents
  • Pefusafe2 – a low profile design ideal for paediatric patients and oncology and haematology patients requiring extended treatment.

Safe and secure

Our polyfilm securement dressing is specially designed to ensure the Huber needles remain in place.  They feature an adhesive central window to ensure easy removal without displacing the needle.

Testimonials

Carol McCormick, Clinical Interventions Lead Nurse at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre

""The unique design of the PPS offers a consistently reliable device that is both easy and safe for staff to use to access all ports successfully. Most importantly the PPS allows visible positive pressure flushing technique on removal of the needle, demonstrated by a small “splash of saline” eliminating the risks of blood reflux. The structure of the device ensures a comfortable experience for patients helped by staff being able to hold the lever section to visualise the needle tip to rest on the skin at the centre of the port whilst securing the port with the non -dominant hand increasing first time successes.""
