New needles for sub c. infusions

​

We got new needles that from HIS company that are now approved to use. 

Gabi, the agent for the needles already supplies the new needles to patients who use Gammunex and Beriglobin as their medications.

​

These needles are more efficient and they penetrate the body easier.  The tubes are from silicon and it is easier to see the medication liquid that pass the tube.  This allows to stop the medication before it arrives to the needle and put a clip to stop it.  That protects the skin and reduces pain. 

​

The tubes are also longer.  This is especially helpful when you infuse in the leg.  The previous tubes were too short to get to the pump and it was needed to add another tube as an extension.  The new needles tubes are long enough.  There is no need for an extension.

​

The new HIS needles are also supplied now to the users of the medication HyQivia they were approved by Taked pharma company. Here there is another improvement.  This medication usually comes with a high volume and before the new needles, there was a use in a wider needle (gauge 24). The new needle is more efficient and it allows the HyQivia’s users to use a smaller needle (gauge 26).  This minimize the local side effects. 

​

The original company split. The original developer of needles continued to develop the new needles in the new company. 

​

Soon we will see more improvement in the equipment.  The pumps Freedom 60 will have one tube that you can choose the rate of the infusion on it, instead of different tubes for different rates before.
