Safety Lancets

Lancets are used to obtain capillary blood samples for tests, including for  blood glucose levels.   Unfortunately, they often cause sharps injuries.  Safety Lancets are used for obtaining a capillary blood sample often for diabetic patients. The safety features minimize sharps injuries.

Safety IV Access Products

Safety IV access products allow for infusion into an IV line without using sharp hypodermic syringe needles. This protects the clinician and others from unnecessary needlestick injuries.

IV Access Products

Monoject BlunTip® and Lifeshield® IV Access products enhance clinician safety by eliminating exposed needles from the I.V. infusion procedure. BlunTip cannula fit a wide variety of pre-pierced ports, including Baxter Interlink©, McGaw SafeLine©, and Alaris VersaSafe© products.

Safety Intermaxillary Fixation

Safety Product Category

Safety Intermaxillary Fixation

Having your mouth wired shut with the traditional method was painful for the patient and put the clinician in constant danger of being stuck with the twisted wire ends. With newer technologies, the risk of glove puncture and exposure to HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C is virtually eliminated.

   Scenes like these can be frightening to clinicians! Intermaxillary fixation has typically required the use of wire with many loose ends capable of puncturing latex gloves and creating percutaneous injuries. The HIV or Hepatitis status of patients is rarely known. This sets up an unacceptable risk for the clinician. Newer methods of intermaxillary fixation can minimize these risks.

Safety Huber Needle

Safety Product Category

Safety Huber Needle

Huber needles are used to administer chemotherapy, antibiotics, and TPN through an implanted IV port. These Needles may be left in the port for many days at a time. It can be 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.

K-Shield Advantage™ Port Access Infusion Needle

Kawasumi brings you K-Shield AdvantageTM, a totally integrated device for optimal non-coring Huber needle stick protection. K-Shield complies with all OSHA standards and has unmatched advantages.

It’s been carefully designed with user needs in mind. For example, it’s clinician friendly and easy to use, especially when activating the safety mechanism. The audible click can be heard clearly to acknowledge the needle is locked and enclosed during activation. Kawasumi’s K-Shield port access infusion sets are available in both straight tubing and needleless “Y” site offerings. And, pinch clamps are color coded according to needle gauge.

Of course, you’re concerned about patient comfort. Kawasumi has addressed this issue with a lubricated needle which reduces patient discomfort when port is accessed as well upon needle removal.

Also, K-Shield has one of the lowest profiles in the industry, making dressings simple and efficient. This also improves patient comfort during long infusion times. The ridges on the bottom plate enable skin to breath, further improving patient comfort.

Safety Heel Stick Devices

Safety Product Category

Safety Heel Stick Devices

A collection of capillary blood is obtained by pricking the skin on the heel and collecting a drop or two of blood on a test strip on into a small container. The area is cleansed with antiseptic and punctured with a sharp needle or a lancet. The blood may be collected in a pipette, on a slide, onto a test strip, or into a small container. When using standard needles or lancets this leaves sharps that can accidentally stick a healthcare worker or others. Newer technologies exist that eliminate the sharps injury potential

Heel sticks with a standard needle or lancet create potential needlesticks to healthcare workers and others.

 

Unistik 3 Neonatal featuring Comfort Zone Technology is an extremely easy and comfortable way to obtain a blood sample.

It is designed to ensure the highest level of safety for the healthcare professional and their patients.

The Unistik 3 lancet is pre-set and covered with a protective sterile cap. There is no need to load the lancet or prime the device prior to use. You simply twist off the protective cap and the device is ready for use.

The Unistik 3 lancet is pre-set and covered with a protective sterile cap.

The Unistik 3 needlepoint is hidden before use and automatically retracts after use to avoid needlestick injuries and cross infection.

Unistik 3 has an additional visual lockout feature. Should an attempt be made to misuse the device by trying to re-prime the lancet there is a clear indication to the operator that the device has been used and should be disposed of in a suitable sharps container.

The Unistik 3 Neonatal device is designed especially for blood sampling from the babies’ heel with a puncture depth of only 1.8mm. The lancet has Special Asymmetric Grinding to give optimal blood flow and reduced pain for the baby.

Safety Drug Reconstituttion Systems

Safety Product Category

Safety Drug Reconstituttion Systems

When working with lyophilized medications it is necessary to mix them with a diluent. Standard methods of doing this requires the use of a needle and syringe to pull up diluent and then mix the drug, thus exposing healthcare workers to unnecessary needlestick injuries. New safer drug transfer devices for the reconstitution of drugs are available that bypass the use of needles prevention the risk of needlestick injuries.

The MixJect™ System

The MixJect™ system enables the safe, rapid and easy preparation of lyophilized drugs. MixJect is a single unit for reconstituting a powder drug with a diluent prefilled syringe.

The Mix2Vial™ Needleless System


Mix2Vial™ needleless system enables simple, fast, vial-to-vial transfer and mixing between two vials for the reconstitution of lyophilized drug products.

The Needleless Transfer Device

The Needleless Transfer Device enables the rapid transfer of a diluent into powder vials for mixing and drug reconstitution. The use of a single device allows a closed system preparation.

Vial Adapters

Vial adapters enable rapid drug transfer and reconstitution and are a cost-effective solution for the safe and rapid transfer and reconstitution of drugs between vials. Adapters enable the optimal aspiration of mixed and reconstituted drugs.

Safety Cord Clamping/Cutting

Safety Product Category

Safety Cord Clamping/Cutting

The umbilical cord of infants is typically cut by placing two plastic clamps on the cord and then severing the cord with scissors. It is important that the cord cutting be performed with sterile instruments. Both disposable and reusable scissors are a potential source of sharps injuries to healthcare workers and others. Newer technologies exist that can take the risk of a sharps injury out of this procedure.

Safety Cord Blood Collection

Safety Product Category

Safety Cord Blood Collection

Following the delivery of a child, several samples of umbilical cord blood are taken for testing. This is typically done by cutting the umbilical cord and inserting a large gauge needle into the cord to draw a sample. Newer technologies eliminate this needlestick risk.
Umbilical cord blood is frequently drawn in order to perform a number of general purpose diagnostic tests in the 4 million births in the US each year. Test that are commonly performed on the umbilical cord blood include routine blood work such as blood type, blood pH, CBC, etc. When a baby is delivered, the umbilical cord is typically clamped and cut. Before the placenta is delivered, the obstetrician or midwife inserts a blood bag needle into the umbilical vein. The blood flows into the bag by gravity until the umbilical cord is completely drained. The blood bag is clamped, sealed and labeled. This umbilical cord blood collection typically takes 2-4 minutes. Newer technologies exist that take the risk of a needlestick injury out of this procedure.
