Port access needle and extraction tool
A port access needle extraction tool includes a housing defining an interior space, wherein the housing has a first end and a second end positioned opposite the first end, a needle engagement member positioned at least partially within the interior space, wherein the needle engagement member is configured to engage a portion of a port access needle, and a biasing member. The needle engagement member has an extended position and a retracted position, wherein the biasing member biases the needle engagement member toward the retracted position.
