In clinical environments, safety and precision are non-negotiable. The Eclipse Hinged Safety Hypodermic Needle (Thin Wall) is designed to reduce needlestick injuries while maintaining smooth, reliable injection performance. It’s widely used in hospitals, clinics, and high-volume care settings where both efficiency and safety are essential.
One of its key strengths is that it comes in multiple sizes (gauges and lengths), allowing healthcare professionals to match the needle to specific procedures with accuracy and control.
What This Safety Needle Is Designed For
The Eclipse safety needle features a hinged protective shield that activates immediately after use, covering the needle tip to help prevent accidental injury. It is designed for one-handed activation, meaning clinicians can quickly secure the needle without interrupting workflow.
Its thin wall construction also improves flow efficiency, allowing medications to pass through more easily while reducing resistance during injection.
