The Gripper Plus Safety Port Access Needle is a sterile, single-use non-coring Huber needle designed for safe and efficient access to implanted vascular ports. This specific configuration (REF: 21-2769-24) features a 20-gauge needle with a length of 5/8 inch (16 mm) and is supplied without a Y-site, providing a direct, single-lumen infusion pathway.

The device incorporates an advanced safety mechanism that activates during needle removal, delivering both an audible click and visual confirmation to ensure the needle is securely locked, thereby minimizing the risk of needlestick injuries.

A thick cushioned platform is designed to rest comfortably against the patient’s skin, enhancing stability and patient comfort during use. The needle also includes a removable contoured grip, allowing clinicians to maintain control and precision during insertion.

This model uses a non-siliconized, non-coring needle, which helps preserve the integrity of the implanted port septum and reduces the risk of fragmentation or leakage over repeated access.

The integrated extension tubing (typically around 20 cm) is equipped with a color-coded clamp to facilitate flow control and easy identification during clinical procedures.
