Needle Recapper

The main body of the needle recapper is made from natural white acetal copolymer resin.

Both the top and the bottom of the needle recapper are recessed. The outside wall of the needle recapper has a non-slip textured finish to help you grip the recapper during cleaning, etc.

The Needle Recapper has 5 different holes. Please look at the description below to see which hole is most suitable for the needle you are using. 

• Red hole: Insulin type syringes
• Blue hole: Blue needles
• Green hole: Green needles
• Center hole: Spinal (yellow) type needles
• Bottom hole: Miscellaneous large diameter needles

Step 1

Place the Needle Recapper on a flat surface and place the cap in the correct hole for the syringe you are using.

Step 2

Using a single hand, place the needle into the cap inside the Needle Recapper and push firmly.

Step 3

Remove the syringe from the Needle Recapper and the needle should now be recapped.

Cleaning/disinfecting/sterilising the needle recapper

Acetal copolymer resin allows machined products the ability to retain dimensional integrity, maintain stability in water and most chemicals at elevated temperatures.

Recommended sterilization techniques for acetal include steam autoclaving (Maximum 121Celcius cycle) and Ethylene Oxide gas. Disinfectants and germicides generally have no effect on acetal, however, acidic solutions can degrade the polymer over the long term.

Warning:
Acetal is degraded by high concentrations of Hydrogen peroxide and/or Ozone – It is therefore not suitable to be sterilised using the newer type of Hydrogen peroxide ‘Vapor Phase/Plasma’ sterilisers. Mild acidic solutions, over the long term, can have a detrimental effect on acetal. Strong acid solutions, e.g.>1m HCl, may have an immediate detrimental effect.
