BIOHOLE™ AVF NEEDLE BIOHOLE™ AVF SINGLE NEEDLE
Nipro’sBiohole 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
