The OcuSafe® LDS 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 OcuSafe® LDS Needles have a removable cap that is removed prior to the needle’s use. They are intended for use by health care professionals for administration of drugs. Their operation is manual. The OcuSafe® LDS Needles are single use only, non-toxic, non-pyrogenic, and sterilized by ethylene oxide gas. The OcuSafe® LDS 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.
