"MasterGuard really helps prevent needlesticks—it keeps our fingers protected throughout removal."
-- Karen Paukstis, RN
Medisystems offers the widest selection of apheresis needles in the industry. Nine out of ten apheresis procedures are performed using our access products.
MasterGuard Anti-Stick Needle Protector:
Proven to reduce accidental needlestick injuries*
Only MasterGuard has a FingerShield™ anchor to protect the pressure-holding fingers
Protects against needlesticks immediately upon removal and through time of disposal
MasterGuard doesn't affect or interfere with site selection, venipuncture technique, or tapedown
Audible and tactile click confirms the needle is locked in place
Simply slide MasterGuard into position when you're ready to remove the needle, and hold the dressing as you would normally. FingerShield's curved end fits comfortably under your finger and protects the at-risk pressure-holding fingers as the needle exits the patient. FingerShield protects the pressure-holding fingers during and after needle removal.
