 The MiniLoc safety infusion set incorporates a huber safety needle into an integral safety needle device. An estimated 47% of accidental needlestick injuries from Huber needles are due to the "rebound effect," which occurs during needle withdrawal from the implanted port. The MiniLoc features a robust shield that is deployed as the needle is withdrawn from the port, effectively reducing the risk of accidental needlesticks, including rebound injuries. MiniLoc’s safety mechanism is easy-to-use and conforms to common user technique.
Although MiniLoc is a huber safety needle, it is remarkably small. Its ultra-low profile and small footprint make it easy to dress. This is a significant feature in the Huber needle market; which has been plagued by large, unwieldy safety devices. The tubing has an enhanced downward angle at the back of the device, which also helps maintain dressing integrity.
The MiniLoc surpasses Huber Plus, SafeStep safety needle, LiftLoc safety infusion set, and SureCan huber in multiple categories
As detailed in the graph below, the MiniLoc meets or exceeds requirements for huber safety needles in nine categories. Products that do not meet all of these requirements include the LiftLoc safety infusion set, the SafeStep safety needle, the SureCan huber, and the Huber Plus.

A specially lubricated huber safety needle significantly reduces penetration and access forces. MiniLoc’s non-coring Huber type needle minimizes damage to the port septum caused by normal use.
A needle forward design facilitates dual lumen port access.
The MiniLoc huber safety needle is available in 29 separate combinations including 19, 20, and 22 gauge needles at 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1.5 inch lengths. All sizes are available with straight and Y-site tubing configurations and our most common sizes are available with an attached MicroClave.
