General Description

The Huber Needle from Q Medical Industries is a specialized needle carefully designed to provide safe and effective access to subcutaneously implanted venous injection ports (Port-a-Cath).

How to Use

Must be used by trained medical personnel. The skin over the injection port is thoroughly disinfected. The needle is held at a 90-degree angle to the skin and inserted firmly through the skin and silicone septum until it reaches the base of the port (a metal contact should be felt). Blood aspiration is performed to confirm correct placement before starting the injection or sampling. After use, the needle is discarded in a dedicated sharps container.

• Non-Coring Design: The specially designed deflected point preserves the integrity of the port’s silicone septum and prevents fluid leakage.
