Needle Sets

Not all patients come in all sizes so your intraosseous solution should not either. In recognition of the diversity of patients requiring immediate vascular access Vidacare is has developed three sizes of needles to allow the provider to gain intraosseous access on nearly all patients larger than 3 kilograms.

 

Our PD Needle Set is designed for use with patients from 3-39 kg in weight or for those with little tissue over insertion sites. The 15 GA needle is 15 mm in length and is constructed with 304-stainless steel and includes our patented cutting tip to gain access in seconds with our Power Driver. Each needle set is marked with a black line 5 mm from the hub to help the provider during placement and all PD Needle Sets come sealed in a hard canister and are accompanied with a EZ-Connect® and a wrist band.

Our AD Needle Set is designed for any patient larger than 39 kg in weight or for those who have too much tissue over the insertion site for the PD needle to be used. This 15 GA needle is 25 mm in length and is also constructed of 304-stainless steel and includes our patented cutting tip. Each needle set is marked with a black line 5 mm from the hub to help the provider during placement and all AD Needle Sets come sealed in a hard canister and are accompanied with an EZ-Connect® and a wristband.

Our new LD Needle Set is designed for patients whom have excess tissue over the insertion site. Whether the excess tissue is from edema, large musculature or obesity the LD Needle Set provides the length to effectively gain access to the intraosseous space on most patients. This 15 GA needle is 45 mm in length and is constructed of 304-stainless steel and includes our patented cutting tip. Each needle set is marked with a black line 5 mm from the hub to help the provider during placement and all LD Needle Sets come sealed in a plastic tray with two sharps blocks and are accompanied with an EZ-Connect® and a wristband.
