Nipro’s Biohole AVF needles are intended for the buttonhole technique, a less painful and more convenient puncture for home dialysis and healthcare centers alike 1-5.
Extend the life of the vascular access and reduce pain compared to rope-ladder technique thanks to a blunt, siliconized needle1-5.
Biohole AVF needles offer maximum operational efficiency for healthcare professionals and improved quality of life for patients.
-
Siliconized dull needle reduces pain compared to the rope-ladder technique1-5
-
Minimizes potential needling error and hematoma formation 4,6,7
- Increases freedom for home dialysis patients thanks to self-cannulation
-
Less AVF complications: reduces aneurysm formation and only two puncture sites required 4
-
Decreases bleeding time 8-10
-
Ultra-thin wall for optimal blood flow
- Textured, turnable of fixed, color-coded wings
- Color-coded tapered luer
- White occlusion clamp allows easy distinction with standard and safety needles
- Available in regular or single dull needle
- Includes scab remover
- Latex-free, DEHP-free
- Gamma sterilization
