The Medigard Flash Back Needle

Medigard has designed a Flash Back Needle as a complementary product for the BCD.

The Flash Back Needle is expected to be bundled with the BCD from 2012. It is expected about 50 percent of BCDs will be bundled with the Medigard Flash Back Needle.

Flash back needles allow healthcare workers immediate visual confirmation of a successful venipuncture and are expected to become standard attachment for BCDs.
