The MiniLoc™ Safety Infusion Set incorporates a Huber type needle into an integral safety needle device. Huber needles are used to access surgically implanted, subcutaneous vascular access ports on a repeated basis. As such, they are hollow-bore and potentially blood-contaminated at the time of removal, with a significant need for an effective safety solution. 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.

MiniLoc features a robust shield that is deployed as the needle is withdrawn from the port, effectively reducing the risk of accidental needlesticks, including rebound injuries.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 safety Huber 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.

A specially lubricated 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.

Miniloc 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.
