Product type
Hypodermic needles are medical devices used to inject substances into the body or extract fluids from it. They are typically made of stainless steel, which provides strength and resistance to corrosion. The needle is attached to a syringe, allowing for precise delivery of medications, vaccines, or other fluids. Hypodermic needles come in various gauges and lengths to suit different medical applications and patient needs.
| Material | Stainless steel |
| Gauge range | 14G to 30G |
| Length options | 0.5 inches to 3 inches |
| Sterility | Sterile, single-use |
| Hub type | Luer lock or Luer slip |
When selecting hypodermic needles, consider the gauge and length that best suit the intended application. Higher gauge numbers indicate thinner needles, which may be preferable for certain injections. Ensure that the needles are sterile and intended for single use to prevent infection. Buyers should also specify the required hub type based on the syringes they will be using. Quantities may vary based on usage frequency, so consider bulk purchasing for cost efficiency.
