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.
