McKesson Prevent Hinged Safety Hypodermic Needles – BX/100 are designed for aspiration, injection, and medication-administration procedures using compatible conventional syringes. The integrated hinged safety shield provides a simple post-use protection mechanism that securely covers the needle and helps reduce exposure to an unprotected sharp during handling and disposal.
The safety mechanism can be activated with a finger, thumb, or against an appropriate hard surface and provides audible and tactile feedback when engaged. A bevel-up needle orientation supports low-angle injection techniques, while color-coded packaging, needle hubs, and safety hinges help healthcare professionals identify gauge size efficiently.
This variable product family includes needle configurations from 18G through 30G, with available lengths of 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, 1 inch, and 1-1/2 inches depending on gauge. Each sterile, single-use needle is individually packaged and designed for use with compatible standard Luer Lock and slip-tip syringes.
