Abstract

A device and method is disclosed for cleaning a plurality of injection needles having a hollow tubular body of a generally constant outer diameter, a proximal opening, and a distal opening. The device includes a housing defining a manifold. The housing has a plurality of corresponding openings through a top and a bottom surface. The openings have a diameter approximately equal to the needle diameter. The device further includes a high-pressure air source coupled to the housing and in fluid communication with the manifold. The method includes inserting needles into the openings, such that a proximal opening of the needle is located within the manifold, and injecting air into the manifold and through the bore of the needles.
