The unique design has integrated   finger grips allowing for handling ease without the need for wings, which can   interfere with disposal. The automated needle retraction is activated by   depressing a retraction trigger located near the finger grip area, allowing   for easy one-handed activation, without changes in hand position, while   reducing the risk of inadvertent activation.&nbsp;   In addition, the needle retraction automatically clamps the tubing,   reducing the risk of exposure to blood.</font></p>
