Surecan needles, non-core Huber needles for fully implantable systems, were developed by B.Braun to solve the problem of long-term management of implantable ports; in fact with a 22G Surecan needle it is possible to puncture a silicone membrane up to 1000 times without observing leaks or blockages of the catheter holder system due to frustules introduced by the needle into the capsule.
Surecan needles are perfectly straight and the sharp part of the tip, of very small dimensions, determines a smaller linear incision than the needle itself.
The preventive incision serves as an "invitation" to avoid lacerations of the membrane during the subsequent passage of the needle shaft.
The back section of the bevel is carefully sandblasted so that it is not sharp, thus preventing the production of frustules.
The Surecan angled needles with wings also have a single or double-way polyurethane extension tube (version with Y site) and have soft PVC wings that allow the needle to be fixed to the skin.
The Surecan device is a non-coring needle with a straight tip, which allows a perpendicular puncture of the port, with an easy and easy identification of the position of the correct puncture site.
The needle is not siliconed, this allows a superior stability of the needle in the port, with an excellent penetrating power given by the non-coring cutting profile of the tip.
Huber Surecan needles are subjected to a particular production process which consists in bombarding the needle body with glass microspheres. This allows you to give the needle a sharp edge and a circular internal cutting edge, without burrs.
The needle is made of premium quality stainless steel which gives unmatched strength and resistance to bending strss.
Only 90 ° Surecans and angled Surecans with wings are certified for high pressure contrast liquid infusions.
