We just finished trialing the new Gripper Micro Safety Needle at my hospital. This is the best needle ever. It is a non-sharp needle that has a blunt cannula.
Has anyone else tried this needle? Any complaints or trouble with it?

Never heard of it but am interested. Do you have a link to a website to get more info on this?
The company that makes the needle is Smiths Medical. This is the link that the rep gave me when he was in-servicing us on it. http://www.smiths-medical.com/plugins/news/2007/nov/gripper-micro-safety-needle.html
I have never seen a needle like this before. The patients loved it, and we will be implementing it hospital wide.
