    Sliding shield protects the needle from bacterial contamination.

    Low dead space reduces the medication waste and air bubbles in injected solution.

    Available in different gauges (i.e. 30G – 33G).

    FDA approved, CE Mark registered and ISO 9001 certified

      Additional information:

      1. Low silicone content in SteriCap® Mini Needles (USA) / VitreJect® Safety Needles (EU): about 70% less silicone in 33G SteriCap Mini Needle and 60% less silicone in 31G SteriCap needle than in standard 30G x 1/2” needles.
      2. SteriCap® Mini Needle enables a single-step, safe injection procedure and does not require additional instruments / consumables:
      • Integrated 3.5mm – 4mm caliper ensures precise and consistent injection site localization, no additional marker needed.
      • Protective shield keeps the needle covered at all time increasing injection safety.It prevents contact contamination with eye lids / lashes and protects against air-borne pathogens. No eyelid speculum needed which enhances patient’s comfort and compliance.
      • Sliding shield ensures the consistent depth and orientation of needle penetration.
      • Twist-locking needle shield / cap reduces the risk of accidental needle sticks.
      1. Small-gauge needles (e.g. 31G or 33G) with large internal diameter are more comfortable for patients and improve safety due to a smaller needle track and reduced risk of drug / vitreous efflux or bacterial influx from ocular surface.
