MasterGuard Anti-Stick Needle Protector

A published study shows MasterGuard significantly reduces needlestick injuries compared to conventional, unguarded AVF needles. Our patented FingerShield anchor to protect the pressure-holding fingers is one reason why MasterGuard is so effective. With over 70,000,000 needles protected to date, you can count on us to help keep you safe.

• MasterGuard is the only AVF needle guard proven to reduce needlestick injuries*
• Only MasterGuard has a FingerShield™ anchor to protect the pressure-holding fingers
• Clear MasterGuard allows visualization of the needle point as it exits the patient
• MasterGuard doesn't affect or interfere with site selection, cannulation technique, or tapedown
• MasterGuard has an audible and tactile click to confirm the needle is locked in place

Simply slde 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.
