Dispo Van Hypodermic Needle - 23G*1.5 inch - 100 Units Pack

This product is a sterile hypodermic needle designed for the administration of liquid medications and other fluids into the body. It functions by piercing the skin to allow for the controlled delivery of substances from a syringe. The needle is a hollow tube with a sharp, beveled tip, engineered to facilitate smooth penetration and minimize patient discomfort during injection procedures.

Its construction from medical-grade stainless steel contributes to its rigidity and resistance to bending, ensuring reliable performance. The needle is typically attached to a syringe, forming a complete unit for aspiration or injection. Each unit is individually packaged to maintain sterility until the point of use, which is a critical factor in preventing infection and ensuring patient safety.

The packaging is designed to be easily opened without compromising the integrity of the sterile needle.

The key features of this hypodermic needle include its specific gauge and length, which are 23G and 1.5 inches respectively. The 23-gauge size indicates a relatively fine diameter, contributing to a less painful injection experience.

The 1.5-inch length is suitable for various subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. The material, medical-grade stainless steel, offers durability and corrosion resistance.

The sterile nature of the product is a primary benefit, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements for medical use. The design of the sharp tip is intended to reduce tissue trauma, thereby enhancing patient comfort and acceptance of the procedure. The needle is intended for single use to prevent the transmission of pathogens and maintain aseptic technique.

This hypodermic needle is utilized by a range of medical professionals, including physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers in various clinical settings. It is also employed in home healthcare environments by trained caregivers or patients for self-administration of medications. The applications are broad and encompass the delivery of a wide array of injectable medications, such as vaccines, insulin, antibiotics, and other therapeutic agents.

It can also be used for drawing blood samples, although its primary design is for fluid administration. The specific gauge and length make it suitable for a variety of injection depths and volumes, depending on the medication and the patient's anatomy.

Typical applications include routine immunizations, management of chronic conditions requiring regular injections, and acute care scenarios where rapid medication delivery is necessary. In hospital settings, these needles are found in emergency rooms, surgical units, and general wards. Outpatient clinics and private practices also rely on these sterile needles for daily patient care.

For home use, they are essential for individuals managing conditions like diabetes, autoimmune diseases, or those undergoing specific treatment regimens that necessitate injectable therapies. The compatibility with standard syringe tip designs ensures broad usability across different syringe brands.

Important usage notes include the fact that this needle is strictly for single use. Re-use of a sterile needle can lead to loss of sharpness, increased pain, and, most critically, the potential for microbial contamination and infection. Users must verify that the sterile packaging is intact before opening; any compromise to the packaging indicates that the needle may no longer be sterile and should not be used.

When removing the needle from its protective cap, it is advised to pull the cap straight off to prevent bending or damaging the needle point, which could hinder smooth insertion. After use, the needle must be disposed of safely in an appropriate sharps container to prevent accidental needle-stick injuries. Storage should be in a clean, dry environment, protected from environmental contaminants and pests.
