A take-off needle (1) comprising a main hollow lance (2) having a distal end adapted to perform a pricking operation, said hollow lance (2) being connected to two pipes (12) each provided with a spigot (7) for it to be connected to a tube, said needle (1) being characterized in that it comprises a body (8) for holding the main hollow lance (2), said holding body (8) defining two internal cylindrical surfaces forming said pipes (12), and in that the main hollow lance (2) comprises, at its proximal end, a sleeve (10) having an internal channel (18) of which the distal end is connected to the proximal end of the main hollow lance (2), and of which the proximal end opens into the holding body (8), said sleeve (10) comprising at its proximal end two crescent-shaped surfaces (19) inclined towards the interior of the internal channel (18) and towards the distal end of the sleeve (10), each of said crescent-shaped surfaces (19) being disposed so as to extend in line with one of the internal cylindrical surfaces (12) of the holding body (8).
