BD Microlance Needle 30G x 1/2 (0.3mm x 13mm) - Box of 100 Units

This product is a sterile, single-use hypodermic needle designed for medical procedures. It is constructed from high-quality stainless steel and features a regular bevel and regular wall thickness. The needle is intended for the administration of fluids or the withdrawal of biological samples.

Its design prioritizes ease of use and patient comfort during procedures. Each needle is individually packaged to maintain sterility until the point of use. The needle hub is colored tan for identification.

This specific configuration is a 30-gauge needle with a length of 1/2 inch (approximately 13mm). The package contains 100 individual units.

The mechanism of action for this needle involves its sharp, precisely engineered tip, which facilitates penetration through the skin and into the intended tissue or vessel. The regular bevel design contributes to a smooth entry, minimizing tissue trauma. The thin wall construction of the needle allows for a higher flow rate compared to standard wall needles of the same gauge, which can expedite fluid administration or sample collection.

The needle is also treated with a proprietary lubrication to further reduce friction during insertion and withdrawal, enhancing the overall patient experience by minimizing discomfort.

Key features and benefits include the high-quality stainless steel construction, ensuring durability and sharpness. The 30-gauge size represents a very fine needle, making it suitable for procedures where minimizing pain and skin puncture size is a priority. The 1/2-inch length is appropriate for subcutaneous or intradermal injections.

The sterile, individually wrapped packaging ensures aseptic technique can be maintained throughout the procedure, preventing contamination and reducing the risk of infection. The regular bevel and thin wall design are engineered for efficient and comfortable use.

This product is utilized by a range of medical professionals, including physicians, nurses, phlebotomists, and other healthcare providers in various clinical settings. Patients may also encounter these needles during self-administration of medications under professional guidance. Caregivers assisting patients with medical treatments may also handle these needles.

The primary applications include the administration of subcutaneous and intradermal medications, such as insulin, heparin, and other injectable drugs. It is also suitable for drawing small volumes of blood for diagnostic testing or for the aspiration of fluids.

Typical applications extend across primary care, specialty clinics, hospitals, and home healthcare environments. It is commonly used for routine injections, vaccinations, and blood sampling procedures. The fine gauge and short length make it particularly well-suited for pediatric patients or individuals with a low pain tolerance.

The needle's compatibility with standard Luer-Lok syringes ensures its integration into existing medical workflows.

Important usage notes include adherence to aseptic techniques during preparation and administration to prevent infection. The needle is designed for single use only and must not be re-sterilized or reused. Damaged packaging should be cause for rejection of the unit.

Proper disposal of used needles in designated sharps containers is critical to prevent needlestick injuries and ensure biohazard safety. Storage should be in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
