Port Access Needles / Huber Needles

Description

The Needle Gripper Y-Site - 20G x 1.25\ (32mm) is a non-safety Gripper port access (Huber) needle for accessing implanted venous access ports to administer or withdraw fluids. Supplied by Medisave in boxes of 12, this device combines a non-siliconised, non-coring 20G needle (length 32 mm / 1.25\) with a 20 cm extension set that can be configured with or without a Y-site. The small footprint base with a thick cushioned needle platform sits comfortably against the skin when in situ, while the removable contoured grip supports controlled needle placement and easy insertion. The extension set includes colour-coded clamp(s), has a priming volume of 0.3 ml (without Y-site) or 0.5 ml (with Y-site), and is pressure-rated up to 45 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of infusion therapies delivered via implanted ports.

Bnefits

Non-safety port access (Huber) needle specifically designed for accessing implanted ports to administer or withdraw fluids.
Small footprint base with thick cushioned needle platform provides comfort for the patient and stabilisation of the access site.
Removable contoured grip enables controlled, precise needle insertion and improved clinician ergonomics.
Non-siliconised, non-coring 20G needle reduces coring risk and is suitable for repeated port access according to protocol.
20 cm extension set available with or without Y-site, offering flexibility to accommodate secondary infusions or medication boluses.
Removable injection cap on the luer lock and colour-coded clamp(s) support safe, clear line management.
Priming volume of 0.3 ml (without Y-site) or 0.5 ml (with Y-site) helps clinicians accurately account for dead space in dosing calculations.
Pressure-rated up to 45 psi, allowing compatibility with many infusion pumps and flushing protocols used with implanted ports.

Indications

Accessing implanted venous access ports (portacaths) for administration of IV fluids, medications, chemotherapy and parenteral nutrition according to clinical protocols.
Withdrawal of blood samples from implanted ports when indicated.
Use in hospital, ambulatory infusion, oncology and other clinical settings where reliable non-safety port access needles are specified.

Composition

Non-siliconised, non-coring Huber needle, 20G x 32 mm (1.25 inch), stainless steel.
Needle platform and base with integral foam/cushion for patient comfort (polymeric materials, latex-free).
Removable contoured grip (plastic) for controlled needle placement.
20 cm (8 inch) extension tubing set (flexible medical-grade polymer) with luer lock connection.
Y-site with removable injection cap (where supplied) compatible with standard luer devices.
Colour-coded clamp(s) on extension line.
Latex-free construction (as specified for Gripper needles).

Formulation

Sterile, single-use, non-safety Huber port access needle with 20 cm extension set.
Gauge: 20G; Needle length: 32 mm (1.25 inch).
Non-siliconised, non-coring needle bevel suitable for repeated access of implanted ports.
Extension set available in variants with or without Y-site; priming volume 0.3 ml (without Y-site) or 0.5 ml (with Y-site).
Pressure-rated up to 45 psi for use with compatible infusion devices.
Natural rubber latex-free device.

Packaging

Box of 12 individually sterile-packed Gripper Y-Site port access needle sets.
Each sterile pack contains one 20G x 32 mm non-safety Huber needle mounted on a cushioned base, removable contoured grip and 20 cm extension set (with or without Y-site, depending on specific configuration).
Outer carton labelled with product name, gauge and length, quantity, lot number and expiry date.

Usage

For professional use only by clinicians trained in the use of Huber needles and implanted port systems.
Inspect packaging before use; do not use if the sterile pack is damaged or opened.
Prepare and disinfect the port site according to local infection-prevention protocols.
Prime the extension set (0.3 ml or 0.5 ml depending on configuration) with compatible solution, taking priming volume into account when calculating doses.
Using aseptic technique, stabilise the port and insert the non-coring Huber needle perpendicular to the septum using the removable contoured grip, advancing until the needle tip contacts the base of the port reservoir.
Confirm blood return and flush the port per institutional protocol before starting infusion.
If using a Y-site, connect secondary infusions or give bolus medications through the Y-site as per local guidelines.
Secure the needle platform and extension tubing according to policy to minimise movement and dislodgement.
At the end of therapy, flush and lock the port as required, then carefully withdraw the needle straight out and dispose of the entire set immediately into an approved sharps container.
Single use only; do not attempt to resterilise or reuse.

Contraindications

Do not use in patients without an appropriately placed and confirmed implanted port.
Do not use if there are signs of local infection, inflammation or compromised skin integrity over the port site, unless specifically directed after clinical assessment.
Do not use if the packaging is damaged, the sterile barrier is compromised or the product is past its expiry date.
Not intended for general peripheral venous cannulation or non-port access sites.

Adverse Effects

Potential local complications at the port site such as pain, bruising, haematoma, or irritation.
Risk of infection, including local port-site infection or catheter-related bloodstream infection, if aseptic technique is not strictly followed.
Extravasation or infiltration if the needle is not correctly seated in the port septum.
Possible mechanical complications such as needle dislodgement or occlusion of the extension tubing.
As with all sharps, risk of needlestick injury to staff if safe-handling protocols are not observed.

Storage Conditions

Store in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Keep in original packaging until point of use to maintain sterility and protect from physical damage.
Do not use after the expiry date stated on the packaging.
Protect from crushing or bending that could damage needle, platform or extension set.
