Description
The BD SafeStep Huber Needle Set is a Huber needle set in the AllPoints Port Access System, supplied with a BioPatch protective disk for the access site. It serves infusion and oncology teams that access implanted ports and dress the site as part of the same procedure.
- AllPoints System Format – the set belongs to BD's AllPoints port access platform
- BioPatch Disk Included – the antimicrobial dressing disk ships with the set for site protection
- Standard Access Size – 20G x 3/4 in. covers the everyday adult port access
Port Access with the Site Dressing Already in the Set
Accessing a port is only half the procedure. The accessed site then has to be dressed and protected for the dwell that follows. This set pairs the SafeStep Huber needle with a BioPatch protective disk, so the antimicrobial dressing step does not depend on a second product being at hand. The 20G x 3/4 in. needle is the workhorse port access size, balancing flow against septum wear across repeated accesses. SafeStep is the established Huber set format in the AllPoints system, familiar to infusion nurses who access ports daily. Sets are packed ten to a case for unit-level stocking on infusion and oncology floors.

Why Bundling the Disk with the Needle Matters
Site protection steps get skipped when their supplies live in a different drawer, and port sites are exactly where a skipped step is expensive. Putting the disk in the set makes the complete procedure the default instead of the ideal.
- Complete Procedure in One Pack – needle and site disk arrive together, so the full protocol is always stocked
- Everyday Access Size – 20G x 3/4 in. matches the standard adult port prescription
- Familiar Format – SafeStep handling is the routine infusion nurses already train on
- BD Port Access Depth – the AllPoints platform anchors BD's port access range, beyond standalone Huber needles
