Description
The Terumo SurGuard3 Safety Needle puts a hinged safety sheath on the hub, ready to close over the point the moment an injection or draw is done. Sharps injuries often happen in the seconds after a procedure, when attention has already moved on to the next task. A sheath that activates with a thumb, a finger or a hard surface fits the way clinicians already work, whether they are in a hospital bay, a clinic room or a patient home.
- Three Activation Modes – Close the sheath with a thumb, a finger or a hard surface, whichever the moment allows, for protection that actually gets used.
- Audible Lock Confirmation – The sheath clicks as it locks over the needle, so staff can hear and feel that the sharp is covered.
- T-Sharp Double Bevel – The double-bevel point is designed to enter skin with less force, which can mean a gentler injection for the patient.
- Luer Slip and Lock Fit – The hub works with standard luer slip and luer lock syringes, so no new barrels are needed.
Safety Hypodermic Needles That Close Three Ways
This safety needle line was designed around a simple observation: clinicians activate a safety mechanism only when it matches the technique they already use. The hinged sheath therefore closes three ways, by thumb, by finger or against a hard surface, and it locks onto both the needle and the hub. That dual lock keeps the cover from slipping back open in the sharps container, which protects downstream staff as well as the clinician. Under the sheath sits a genuinely sharp needle, with a double-bevel T-Sharp point and universal color-coded hubs running from 18G to 30G. For safety committees, one device that mimics the handling of most of the safety needle market makes standardization and training far simpler.
Features and Benefits
Safety Mechanism
- Hinged Safety Sheath – The attached sheath swings over the needle after use and stays with the device, so protection is never left behind in a tray.
- Three Modes of Activation – Thumb, finger or hard surface activation lets each clinician use the motion that fits the procedure and the setting.
- Hub and Needle Lock – The sheath locks to the needle and the hub at once, minimizing the chance of the cover being overridden after activation.
Needle Performance
- Double-Bevel Point Design – The double-bevel design is made to penetrate skin with less force, supporting a more comfortable injection.
- Universal Color Coding – Hub colors follow the standard gauge code across the 18G to 30G range for quick, confident selection.
- Ridged Finger Grips – Separate finger and thumb grips with ridges give a nonslip hold during activation, even with gloves on.

Protection Staff Will Actually Use
The best safety device is the one that gets activated every single time, including at the end of a long shift. Three activation modes remove the usual excuse that a mechanism fights the clinician's technique. Pair that with an audible lock and a genuinely sharp point, and compliance stops depending on reminders.
- Activation That Fits Any Technique – Thumb, finger or hard surface closing means no retraining battle when a facility switches to this line.
- Locks That Stay Locked – The sheath secures to both needle and hub, an edge over covers that guard the point but can shift in disposal.
- Comfort Patients Notice – A double-bevel point that enters with less force supports a calmer injection experience, visit after visit.
- One Device to Standardize – A single platform across 18G to 30G simplifies competency training and safety audits across departments.
