Choosing the Right Kind of Needle

Approximately 25% of adults harbor a fear of needles, making procedures like vaccinations, blood tests, or IV drips particularly challenging for many individuals. On average, a healthy person can expect to undergo at least 165 needle-related experiences over their lifetime, emphasizing the importance of choosing the appropriate needle. Mercedes Scientific provides several high-quality medical-grade needles designed for various applications.

Safety Butterfly Needles

Safety butterfly needles are perfect for venous blood collection and short-term infusions. Due to their smaller gauge and shallower angle, these needles are especially beneficial for children and elderly individuals with delicate veins. The design of the butterfly needle enhances patient comfort and minimizes the risk of needlestick injuries through its built-in retraction mechanism. By using the push-button blood collection set, healthcare providers can safely retract the needle with one hand, allowing them to focus fully on the patient and the puncture site. The textured wings not only provide better grip but are also color-coded according to needle size, offering both functionality and convenience. At Mercedes Scientific, we offer 21-, 23-, and 25-gauge needles to accommodate different injection depths and ensure a comfortable patient experience.

Huber Needles

Huber needles meet all the necessary standards for safe and user-friendly infusion sets across various healthcare settings. Our Huber needles come in multiple sizes and gauges to cater to diverse patient needs. Common applications for Huber needles include:

• Blood transfusions
• Chemotherapy treatments
• Dialysis procedures

Hypodermic Needles

Hypodermic needles play a crucial role in patient injections and are available in various sizes to enhance patient comfort and care. Although they can be used for numerous medical applications, the most common uses are intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intradermal injections.

Multi-Sample Needles

In certain cases, taking multiple blood samples from the same area may be necessary depending on the patient’s condition. Multi-sample needles feature a safe and intuitive design that allows for multiple samplings from a single puncture, simplifying the process and improving patient comfort. We offer multi-sample needles in various diameters and sizes to address specific patient needs. Some needle options even include a flashback feature, providing enhanced visual control and facilitating easier blood collection.

Spinal Needles

Administering a spinal needle requires collaboration between highly trained medical personnel and reliable equipment. Spinal needles enable healthcare professionals to inject analgesics or anesthetics into a patient's spinal fluid during procedures such as:

• Hip and knee replacements
• Hysterectomies and cesarean sections
• Hernia and renal failure treatments
• Cardiac or liver disease management
