Needle holders with built-in protection devices

You will be required to use appropriate safety devices with your needle holder. Various options are available.
The Needle-Pro™ Needle protection device (Sims Portex) shown here is an example of a needle holder with a built-in safety device.
It is activated after venipuncture by pressing the orange protection device against any flat surface so as to engage the sheath firmly on the needle.
