NIPRO is a globally active manufacturer of hypodermic needles, leveraging over 70 years of experience to deliver trusted solutions for healthcare professionals worldwide.
CURACASE™ needles are individually packed in durable hard plastic unit packs. The compact unit pack minimizes space requirements1 in secondary packaging, making them ideal for by-packing.
Additionally, the unit pack supports compatibility with feeders and automated pick-and-place systems2.
Each pack features a color-coded label and barcode, enabling in-line product identification via vision systems. The color-coded labels on CURACASE™ unit packs support quick and accurate needle size selection by healthcare professionals.
The ergonomically designed packaging ensures a secure grip, allowing for easy opening and smooth cap removal.
Tamper-evident labels provide visual confirmation that the needle is unused prior to administration.
CURACASE™ needles feature an sharp lancet point and a siliconized cannula, contributing to smooth and comfortable injections.
For the administration of more viscous medications, thin wall needle options are available, enabling more efficient delivery compared to regular wall designs.
CURACASE™ needle hubs are color-coded in accordance with ISO 80369-7, ensuring proper connection to syringes.
