BD 305180 vs. a Standard Hypodermic Needle

Unlike a conventional hypodermic needle intended to penetrate tissue, the BD 305180 has a blunt tip and is intended for medication-preparation and fluid-transfer applications.

For facilities that routinely prepare injectable medications, using a dedicated blunt fill needle can help distinguish the preparation step from medication administration while helping reduce exposure to unnecessary sharp needles.

This needle complements other commonly used IV supplies such as IV bags, IV catheters, IV Start Kits, alcohol prep pads, saline flush syringes, syringes, alcohol prep pads and tourniquets.
