Dispovan Hypodermic Needle - 24G*1 inch

The Dispovan Hypodermic Needle, measuring 24G in gauge and 1 inch in length, is a sterile, single-use medical device designed for the administration of liquid medications and other fluids into the body. It functions as a conduit, connecting to a syringe to facilitate the precise delivery of substances via intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous routes, depending on the specific medical protocol. The needle's construction from medical-grade stainless steel ensures both rigidity and resistance to corrosion, contributing to its reliability during medical procedures.

Its regular bevel design is intended to facilitate smooth penetration of the skin and tissue, aiming to minimize patient discomfort during injection. The medium purple color coding of the needle hub aids in quick identification of its gauge size within a clinical setting. Each unit is individually packaged to maintain sterility until the point of use.

This hypodermic needle operates by piercing the skin and underlying tissue to reach the target injection site. When attached to a syringe filled with medication, the needle allows for the controlled withdrawal of fluids from a vial or the direct injection of the fluid into the patient's body. The sharp, honed tip of the needle is critical for efficient penetration, reducing the force required and thereby enhancing the user experience for both the healthcare provider and the patient.

The lumen of the needle is sized appropriately for the 24-gauge specification, balancing the need for fluid flow with the objective of minimizing tissue trauma. The secure luer lock or slip tip connection to a syringe is designed to prevent leakage during the injection process, ensuring accurate dosage delivery.

Key features of this hypodermic needle include its sterile, single-use design, which is paramount for preventing the transmission of infections and ensuring patient safety. The 24-gauge diameter offers a balance between ease of administration for many liquid medications and a relatively low profile to reduce injection site discomfort. The 1-inch length is suitable for a variety of injection depths, commonly used for subcutaneous and intramuscular administration.

The use of high-quality stainless steel contributes to the needle's durability and sharpness, maintaining its integrity throughout the injection process. The regular bevel design is a standard feature aimed at optimizing tissue penetration. The medium purple hub color provides an easily recognizable identifier for the 24G size.

This product is utilized by a broad spectrum of medical professionals, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other trained healthcare providers in various settings. It is also used by patients for self-administration of prescribed medications under the guidance of a healthcare professional, and by caregivers assisting patients with medication management. Typical applications include the administration of vaccines, insulin, heparin, various antibiotics, pain medications, and other injectable therapeutics.

It is employed in hospitals, clinics, doctor's offices, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare environments. The needle's specifications make it appropriate for routine injections where a fine-gauge needle is preferred for patient comfort.

Important usage notes include the fact that this needle is intended for single use only and should be disposed of properly in a sharps container immediately after use to prevent needlestick injuries and the spread of pathogens. It should not be used if the packaging is damaged or compromised, as this would indicate a breach in sterility. Healthcare professionals should select the appropriate needle gauge and length based on the type of medication, the intended injection site (subcutaneous, intramuscular), and the patient's individual characteristics.

Compatibility with standard syringe tip designs (luer lock or slip tip) should be confirmed prior to use. The needle should be handled with care to avoid accidental self-injection.
