Choosing the Right Kind of Needle

Around 25% of adults have a fear of needles, making procedures like vaccinations, blood tests, or IV drips quite challenging for many. On average, someone in good health can expect to encounter at least 165 needle insertions over their lifetime. Choosing the right needle is crucial, and Mercedes Scientific provides several high-quality medical-grade needles for different applications.

Safety Butterfly Needles

Safety butterfly needles are perfect for venous blood collection and short-term infusions. These needles are smaller and designed for shallower insertion angles, making them ideal for children and elderly individuals with delicate veins. Their ergonomic design enhances patient comfort and minimizes the risk of needlestick injuries. By using the push-button blood collection set, clinicians can retract the needle with one hand, ensuring their focus remains on the patient during the procedure. The textured wings make handling easier, and they come in various colors corresponding to needle gauge sizes. At Mercedes Scientific, we offer 21-, 23-, and 25-gauge needles to accommodate different injection depths and ensure a comfortable experience for patients.

Huber Needles

Huber needles are designed to meet safety standards while offering ease of use across a wide range of healthcare settings. Available in multiple sizes and gauges, our Huber needles cater to diverse patient needs. Common applications include:

• Blood transfusions
• Chemotherapy treatment
• Dialysis treatments

Hypodermic Needles

Hypodermic needles play a key role in patient injections and are available in various sizes to maximize comfort and care. While they can be used for several medical purposes, the three most common types are intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intradermal injections.

Multi-Sample Needles

In cases where multiple blood samples are required from the same area, multi-sample needles offer a practical solution. These needles are designed with safety and convenience in mind, allowing for repeated sampling from a single puncture. This not only improves efficiency but also enhances patient comfort. We provide multi-sample needles in various diameters and sizes to fit specific patient needs. Some needle options even feature a flashback system for better visibility and easier blood collection.

Spinal Needles

Administering spinal needles requires collaboration between skilled medical professionals and reliable equipment. Spinal needles are used to inject analgesics or anesthetics into a patient’s spinal fluid for procedures such as:

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