Dispovan Hypodermic Needle - 16G*1.5 inch

The Dispovan Hypodermic Needle, measuring 16 gauge by 1.5 inches, is a sterile, single-use medical device designed for the administration of liquid medications and other substances into the body. It functions as a conduit, connecting to a syringe to facilitate the precise delivery of fluids.

The needle features a regular bevel, which is a standard angled tip designed to penetrate tissue with minimal trauma, contributing to a smoother injection experience. Its construction from high-quality stainless steel ensures both durability and resistance to corrosion, maintaining the integrity of the needle during use. The white color coding of the hub is a standard industry practice to identify the gauge size.

This hypodermic needle operates by piercing the skin or other tissue layers to reach the intended injection site, such as intramuscular or subcutaneous tissue. When attached to a syringe filled with medication, the needle allows for the controlled withdrawal or injection of fluids. The sharpness of the needle tip is crucial for reducing resistance during insertion, thereby minimizing patient discomfort and the risk of tissue damage.

The 16-gauge size indicates a relatively large diameter, which is suitable for drawing up viscous fluids or for rapid administration of larger volumes of medication. The 1.5-inch length is appropriate for reaching intramuscular or deeper subcutaneous tissue layers.

Key features of this product include its sterile packaging, which is essential for preventing microbial contamination and ensuring patient safety. The use of stainless steel contributes to the needle's strength and sharpness, allowing for consistent performance. The regular bevel design aids in efficient tissue penetration.

The needle is designed for single use, which is a critical safety measure to prevent the transmission of infections and diseases between patients. The standard hub design ensures compatibility with most common syringe types, providing a secure and leak-free connection. The white color of the hub is an important visual indicator of the needle's gauge.

This product is utilized by a range of medical professionals, including physicians, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners in various clinical settings such as hospitals, clinics, and private practices. It is also used by trained caregivers in home healthcare environments and by individuals for self-administration of medications under medical guidance. The typical applications include the administration of injectable medications, such as vaccines, antibiotics, insulin, and other therapeutic agents.

It can also be used for drawing blood samples or for other procedures requiring access to bodily fluids.

Important usage notes include the fact that this needle is intended for single use only and must be disposed of properly after administration to prevent needlestick injuries and environmental contamination. It should not be used if the packaging is damaged or if the needle appears bent or dull. Users should ensure the needle is securely attached to the syringe before use and that the correct injection technique is followed according to medical protocols and patient needs.

The 16-gauge size is generally used for drawing up medications from vials or for injections where a larger bore needle is appropriate, such as in veterinary medicine or for certain intramuscular injections. It is important to select the appropriate needle gauge and length based on the medication, the intended injection site, and the patient's physical characteristics.
