Hemodialysis
Fistula Needle 16G
16-gauge AV fistula needle for vascular access during hemodialysis, with a fixed-wing hub and safety tubing.
Overview
This 16G fistula needle is designed for arteriovenous (AV) fistula and graft cannulation during hemodialysis sessions. The thin-wall, sharp-bevel needle supports the target blood flow rates for dialysis while minimising trauma to the vessel, and the winged hub gives a secure, low-profile grip for taping and handling. Sterile and single-use, with a standard dialysis-line connector, it is stocked alongside the other gauge sizes (15G, 17G) so units can match the needle to each patient’s vascular access and prescribed flow rate.
Medix East Africa supplies the fistula needle 16g with pre-installation site assessment, delivery, installation and commissioning by our own biomedical engineers, and acceptance testing before handover. Operator training is delivered to the staff who will use it day to day, and technical training is available for your biomedical department.
After handover we hold genuine spare parts for the equipment we supply, run preventive maintenance under annual contract, and respond to faults across Kenya and the wider East African region. Pricing is issued by formal quotation, because it depends on configuration, quantity, delivery terms and warranty.

Yes. Medix biomedical engineers carry out site assessment before delivery, install and commission the equipment on site, run acceptance testing, and hand over with documentation. Installation is part of the supply for major equipment rather than a separate charge.
Yes. Operator training for the clinical staff who will use the equipment is delivered at handover, and technical training is available for your in-house biomedical department. Refresher training can be arranged when new staff join.
Yes. Medix holds genuine spare parts for the Fistula Needle 16G locally and provides preventive maintenance, corrective repairs and calibration support through its in-house biomedical engineering team. Annual maintenance contracts are available covering scheduled visits, priority response and agreed parts terms.
Lead time depends on whether the configuration is held in local stock or ordered from the manufacturer. Confirmed lead times are stated on every formal quotation, and delivery scheduling is agreed with your facility in advance so that installation can be planned around theatre or laboratory workload.
