Baxter Jamishidi Style IO Needles are designed to be a safe and simple way to gain vascular access for delivering fluids and drugs to critically ill or injured children. They feature a sharp lancet point to facilitate entry into the bone and a Luer slip/Luer lock connection for secure fit to any syringe. They have an adjustable guard to help control the depth of the needle insertion. The needles also have a twist-off cap to hold the stylet securely in place. 

Intraosseous infusion is recommended only in life-threatening emergencies where vascular access is critical and conventional forms of access are not available or unobtainable. Use a 15 gauge for patients 9 months or older and an 18 gauge for patients younger than 9 months old.
