SAF-Q Subcutaneous Infusion Sets

SAF-Q subcutaneous infusion sets from EMED are engineered for clinicians and patients who need reliable, gentle delivery of medications and fluids into the subcutaneous tissue. These sterile, single-lumen sets pair a fine-gauge steel needle with an integrated safety mechanism, making them a dependable choice for immunoglobulin therapy, hydration, pain management, and other home-infusion and clinical applications.

The EMED SAF-Q-109-G24-12 features a 24-gauge stainless steel needle with a 9 mm length and a winged hub for stable, low-profile placement. The set uses non-DEHP tubing measuring 12 inches, with a small 0.16 mL priming volume that minimizes medication waste—an important consideration when infusing high-cost biologics. Because the needle is short and fine, it's well suited to patients with limited subcutaneous depth, and the winged design helps secure the site during longer infusions.

The built-in safety needle is what sets these apart for many buyers. After delivery, the needle can be retracted or shielded to reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injury, supporting compliance with sharps-safety protocols in both clinical and self-administration settings. This matters most for caregivers and home patients performing repeated infusions, where consistent, predictable needle protection reduces anxiety and exposure.

Each set arrives sterile and individually packaged, ready for single use. When selecting a subcutaneous set, buyers typically weigh needle gauge and length against comfort and flow rate, priming volume against medication cost, and tubing length against how the pump or syringe driver is positioned relative to the patient—the SAF-Q line is designed to balance all three.
