Huber needles are used to administer chemotherapy, antibiotics, and TPN through an implanted IV port. These Needles may be in the port for many days at a time. It is difficult to de-access, or extract the needle safely. The difficulty of pulling the needle out often creates a recoil action with the clinician often getting a needle stuck into the stabilizing hand. A Safety Huber needle retracts or shields the needle upon removal from the implanted port preventing the potential of recoil resulting in an accidental needlestick.

GRIPPER PLUS™ SAFETY NEEDLE
The new GRIPPER PLUS™ Safety Needle is used to deliver medications intravenously through a patient's implanted port. Its unique feature is a safety arm that is lifted to lock the needle into a protected position when de-accessing it from an implanted port. An audible click provides clinicians with confirmation that the de-accessed needle is in its locked safety position. The GRIPPER PLUS™ Safety Needle is safe for clinicians, comfortable for patients, and easy to use. It also allows institutions to comply with NIOSH / CDC criteria for sharps safety. The GRIPPER PLUS™ Safety Needle is based on the input of many clinicians and the design of the familiar GRIPPER® Huber needles, which are recognized as the gold standard in Huber needles. In the last five years, Deltec has sold over 10 million GRIPPER® needles worldwide.
