About AV Fistula Needles
AV fistula needles are specialized, single-use, sterile devices designed for hemodialysis, connecting the bloodlines to an arteriovenous fistula. These needles feature ultra-thin walls for optimal flow, siliconized coating to reduce insertion pain, and flexible, color-coded wings (15G-17G) for secure, stable fixation.
Precision and Comfort in HemodialysisOur AV Fistula Needles are meticulously engineered to provide high precision and ease during vascular access for hemodialysis. The siliconised bevelled tip ensures painless insertion, while the lightweight, non-slip, color-coded butterfly wings guarantee stability and precise handling. These needles are ideal for patients requiring frequent or routine dialysis, providing both nurses and patients with confidence in every treatment.
Sterility and Safety You Can TrustEach needle is sterile, non-pyrogenic, and intended for single use to prevent infection risk. Individually blister-packed, the product maintains optimum hygienic standards until the moment of use. With latex-free materials and a medical-grade build, patients are protected from common allergens, ensuring compliance with healthcare best practices.
FAQ's of AV Fistula Needles:
Q: How should AV Fistula Needles be stored before use?
A: Store AV Fistula Needles in a dry environment at a temperature range of 5C to 40C and below 80% relative humidity. Keep the sterile blister packaging intact until ready for use to preserve sterility.
Q: What are the benefits of the color-coded wing design on these needles?
A: The color-coded wings allow quick and accurate identification of needle gauge, simplifying selection for clinicians and reducing errors during dialysis procedures. They also offer a non-slip grip for controlled insertion.
Q: When should these AV Fistula Needles be used?
A: These needles are intended for vascular access during hemodialysis, specifically for blood withdrawal or return through an arteriovenous fistula in dialysis patients. Each is designed for single-use only to minimize infection risk.
Q: Where can these AV Fistula Needles be safely applied?
A: The needles are suitable for use in hospital dialysis units, outpatient dialysis centers, and home hemodialysis settings, provided that trained medical personnel perform the procedure.
Q: What is the process for safely connecting the AV Fistula Needle to dialysis equipment?
A: Each needle features a Luer lock or Luer slip connector for secure attachment to dialysis tubing. Before connecting, confirm gauge size using the color code, check for package integrity, and dispose of the product after one use following facility protocols.
Q: How does the anti-kinking tube enhance safety during dialysis?
A: The anti-kinking tube ensures continuous, unimpeded blood flow by preventing bends or blockages during the dialysis process. This enhances patient safety and treatment efficacy.
Q: What materials are used in the AV Fistula Needles, and are they latex-free?
A: These needles are crafted from medical grade stainless steel and non-toxic, medical grade plastics such as polypropylene and PVC. All components are latex-free, making them safe for patients with latex allergies.
