Dispensing machines are intended for use with air operated syringes. They offer improved dispensing accuracy and lessen physical requirements. The VFV-25 offers simple manually operated dispensing. The VFV-25V offers the added vacuum feature. The mid range V400S offers both manual and automated dispensing. The V500T offers both manual and automatic dispensing with programmable touchscreen and program storage.

Syringe Tip CapsConstructed of polypropylene, these luer lock hub caps cover and protect syringe openings, preventing fluid leaks when not in use.

These standard dispensing needles are made out of stainless steel cannula and a polypropylene hub. They are anti-static and non sterile and have a blunt open end. These are the classic "dispensing" needles used for years by companies large and small. Only 32 RW needles include covers. Vita can also quote bent stainless cannula " and longer, if required.

Vita Needle offers stainless steel wire in several medical grades and tempers. Typically sold in hard temper, SS 302 wire is our most common alloy. Chemically, it is the same as SS 304 except for a higher carbon content, which effectively gives it a higher tensile strength for a given amount of cold work. We also stock hundreds of sizes of 304, 316 and 316 LVM wire. Other alloys are also available upon request and special sizes can be custom made if not available in stock.

Vita Needle utilizes Electrical Discharge Machining, otherwise known as EDM or spark machining, as one method to fabricate burr free cut to length tube parts. In addition to cut and deburred tubes, Vita relies on EDM to fabricate features on tubes, ranging from simple slots and angled cuts to holes, patterns, contours, skives, complex shapes and other unique geometries. Fabricating tubing using EDM is a CNC process. A program is generated which drives the wire (or sinker electrode) along the designated tool path, and the resulting high frequency electrical discharges between the workpiece and the electrode erodes the specified path.

Swaging is a cold forming operation used to reduce the outside and inside diameter of a tube. It is useful for medical, industrial and aerospace applications (such as landing gear tubes and aircraft instrumentation) where a diameter reduction is required but a multi piece assembly is not desired or is too expensive.

Medical hypodermic needles (or needle assemblies) typically consist of a machined fitting joined to a fabricated tube. Most often, the tube is stainless steel and pointed or blunt (click on cannula link for more details). The worldwide hypodermic needle fitting standard in the medical, laboratory and dispensing fields is the female Luer Lock. The mating part, which provides a tight seal via a quarter-turn, quick-disconnect is the male Luer Lock.

For optimum dispensing control. Standard sizes are 12 RW, 16 RW, 20 RW, 22 RW and 25 RW by 12" long and assembled to a standard plated brass luer lock hub. Other sizes and lengths are available on request.

The Luer lock system of joining needles to syringes has been in use for generations. Growing from the original application of a metal fitting attached to a glass syringe, male Luer Lock adapters allow this connection system to be used in a myriad of applications. Vita Needle Company has proprietary technology which permits plated brass adapters to be produced far more economically than conventional, single point machining. Because the Luer Lock system specifications are so demanding, very few producers without the generations of Vita's experience are willing to manufacture and stock these luer lock adapters. Vita's variety of stock brass and stainless steel, ANSI and ISO 5941 and ISO 80369-7 TAPER ONLY compliant luer adapters and thread to thread industrial adapters supplements our ability to manufacture to custom specifications.

We stock Hard Temper 304 Stainless Steel fractional tubes. This medical grade fractional tubing is a more robust product and held to closer tolerances than commercial grade annealed tubing. Type SS 304, Medical Grade, Hard Temper. Some sizes available in SS 316.

A single grind or cut point. Angle must be specified and is measured from longitudinal axis unless otherwise noted.

Primarily used to reduce coring during septum penetration. "Huber" point primary bevel is deflected behind lumen to approximately parallel with longitudinal axis. Please call regarding process limitations.

Rotary swaged to a minimal flat then sharpened and polished. Limitations on sizes apply. Certain geometries may require custom tooling to be made and generate a modest engineering charge. Often, customers specify a hole or slot near the tip to permit liquid or gas passage.

Formed and hermetically sealed spherical end. Often, customers specify a hole or slot near the tip to permit liquid or gas passage.

Hermetically sealed spherical end. Usually selected for cost or when consistent wall is not available due to size limitations.

Bullet Point Tapered, non-sharp point. A variation of a swaged (reduced) but not closed end is also possible.

Razor EdgeProprietary technology provides a vastly superior sharp edge, often used for biopsies or precision dispensing.

The majority of stainless steel tubing and wire sold by Vita Needle Company falls in the 300 series stainless steel family. The composition of the stainless steel tubing varies depending on the alloy, but in general stainless can be an effective solution for many different types of applications. The key element in stainless steel is chromium, which when alloyed with the remaining elements, permits formation of a microscopically thin, passive layer on the surface of the metal which resists oxidation (rusting). This invisible layer is consistently self repairing in a normal environment---in other words, if the tubing surface is damaged, the layer reforms to protect the underlying tubing from oxidation. The condition of this layer on the surface of the tubing can be enhanced by a process known as passivation, which removes free iron and contaminants from the surface of tubing that might otherwise limit or reduce the formation of the passive layer. However, under exposure to certain environments, the self-repairing nature of the passive layer can be reduced, depending on the alloy and external factors.
