BIOHOLE™ SAFETOUCH TULIP™ AVF NEEDLE
Blunt AVF needle with safety mechanism for the buttonhole technique.
Nipro’s Biohole™ buttonhole device is a simple and effective tool in creating tunnel tracks for the buttonhole technique.
Blunt AVF needle with safety mechanism for the buttonhole technique.
Nipro’s Biohole™ buttonhole device is a simple and effective tool in creating tunnel tracks for the buttonhole technique.
The Biohole™ stick is inserted into the needle track and reduces tunnel formation time from 2-3 months to 14 days, with less funnel deformation and fewer vascular access complications.
Access creation can be achieved as early as the second session, which makes for a less complicated and more comfortable experience all around.
- Siliconized dull needle reduces pain compared to the rope-ladder technique¹⁻⁵
- Minimizes potential needling error and hematoma formation⁴′⁶′⁷
- Less AVF complications: reduces aneurysm formation and only two puncture sites required ⁴
- Decreases bleeding time⁸⁻¹⁰
- Reduced risk of needle stick injuries thanks to a non-reversible mechanism
