Features and Benefits

BD® Blunt Fill Needle

  • Designed for safe vial medication preparation.

  • Blunt tip helps reduce the risk for needlestick injuries during medication preparation due to higher skin penetration force.*

  • Demonstrated no visible coring during medication draw (based on a study of 100 samples).2

  • Features an 18G thin wall (TW) design with a larger inner diameter compared to an 18G regular wall design, which may improve flow rates of viscous medications.**

BD® Blunt Filter Needle

  • Designed for safe ampoule medication preparation.

  • Blunt tip helps reduce the risk for needlestick injuries during medication preparation due to higher skin penetration force.*  

  • Equipped with a 5-micron membrane filter, designed to prevent large particles from being drawn into the syringe¹ when preparing medications from ampoules.
