The VitreJect® LDS Safety Needles are designed to provide a means of fluid injection and aspiration. The devices are single-lumen needles intended for use with a luer-tip syringe. The Low Dead Space (LDS) needle has a decreased internal volume within the luer taper to reduce fluid volume loss. The VitreJect® LDS Safety Needle has a spring-actuated, non-removable sliding cap that protects the needle prior and during its use. They are intended for use by health care professionals for administration of drugs. Their operation is manual. The VitreJect® LDS Needles are single use only, non-toxic, non-pyrogenic, and sterilized by ethylene oxide gas. The VitreJect® LDS Safety Needles are suitable for intravitreal use.
A non-dedicated, sharp bevel-edged, hollow tubular device intended to be inserted beneath the skin of a patient while connected to a noninvasive device (e.g., syringe, secondary medication set) to administer and/or withdraw (aspirate) fluids/drugs; it may also be used for fluid/drug preparation. Some types are designed with a shielding mechanism (e.g., safety cap) for protection from sharp injuries. It is not specifically designed for blood collection or artery puncture, and does not have wings for fixation/placement (i.e., not a blood collection, intra-arterial, or venous butterfly needle). This is a single-use device.
