How It Works
The BD Blunt Filter Needle is designed to assist with the preparation and transfer of suitable solutions.
During an appropriate preparation procedure, the needle can be used to draw up or transfer the solution while the integrated filter helps retain particulate matter according to the product’s intended use.
