Types of Needles And Syringes

:

Needles can be classified based on their shape, size, and intended use. The following are the different types of needles:

Hypodermic Needle: This type of needle is the most commonly used needle in healthcare. It has a sharp, thin, and hollow tip that can penetrate the skin and inject the medication into the body.
Insulin Needle: This needle is specifically designed for injecting insulin into the body. It is shorter and thinner than a hypodermic needle.
Intravenous (IV) Needle: This needle is used for inserting into veins for the administration of medication or fluids.
Spinal Needle: This needle is used for administering medication directly into the spinal cord.
Epidural Needle: This needle is used for administering medication into the epidural space, the area around the spinal cord.
Dental Needle: This needle is specifically designed for dental procedures.
Winged Needle: Also known as a butterfly needle, this type of needle is used for drawing blood or for administering medication to small veins.

Sizes and Gauges of Needles:

The size and gauge of a needle are determined by its diameter. The gauge number indicates the thickness of the needle, with a higher gauge number indicating a thinner needle. The followings are the different needle gauges and their corresponding sizes:

12 Gauge Needle: The thickest needle size used for procedures such as bone marrow biopsies.
14 Gauge Needle: Used for drawing blood or for administering fluids.
16 Gauge Needle: Used for administering medications or for drawing blood.
18 Gauge Needle: Used for administering medications, fluids, or for drawing blood.
20 Gauge Needle: Used for administering medication or for drawing blood in small veins.
21 Gauge Needle: Used for administering medication or for drawing blood.
22 Gauge Needle: Used for administering medication or for drawing blood in small veins.
23 Gauge Needle: Used for administering medication or for drawing blood in small veins.
25 Gauge Needle: Used for administering medication or for drawing blood in small veins.
27 Gauge Needle: The thinnest needle size used for administering medication or for drawing blood in very small veins.

Syringes:

Syringes come in various sizes and types, with the most common types being the Luer-Lok and Slip-Tip syringes.

Luer-Lok Syringe: This syringe has a screw-on tip that securely attaches the needle to the syringe.
Slip-Tip Syringe: This syringe has a smooth tip that allows the needle to slip onto the syringe.
Needle Gauge Sizes: How to Choose the Right Size for Your Needs? When it comes to choosing the right needle gauge size, there are a few things to keep in mind. The gauge size refers to the diameter of the needle. Generally, the larger the gauge number, the smaller the needle. Needles with larger gauges are generally used for thinner liquids, while needles with smaller gauges are used for thicker liquids. For example, a 16-gauge needle is thicker than a 25-gauge needle. The 16 gauge needle is typically used for thick liquids like blood, while the 25 gauge needle is used for thinner liquids like vaccines. Different Types of Needles and Syringes: Which is Right for You?

There are many different types of needles and syringes on the market, each with its own unique features and benefits. Some of the most common types include:
- Hypodermic needles: These are the most commonly used needles for injections and come in a variety of sizes and gauges.
- Insulin syringes Canada: These are specifically designed for administering insulin and have a shorter needle to reduce the risk of hitting muscle.
- Safety needles: These needles have features that help prevent needlestick injuries, making them a safer option for healthcare professionals.
- Spinal needles: These are longer and thinner than hypodermic needles and are used to deliver medication to the spinal cord.
- Winged infusion sets: These are used for IV therapy and have small "wings" that allow for easier insertion and stabilization.
When choosing a needle and syringe, it's important to consider the intended use and the patient's needs. Your healthcare provider can help you choose the best option for your specific situation.

Description

The STERiGLIDE Aesthetic Cannula is the premium cannula choice of many industry-leading key opinion leaders. And for good reason. Its patented design promises easy cannula introduction, accurate filler placement and optimal patient comfort.

50% better gliding
Reduced risk of bruising
Easier cannula introduction
Reduced patient discomfort
20 cannulas (27G x 2" (50mm)) + 20 introducer needles (25Gx1/2")

Features & Benefits:

Dome Shaped Tip Design

Easier cannula introduction
Reduced risk of bruising

The patented dome shaped tip of the STERiGLIDE creates less resistance than a traditional cannula tip. This reduces the cannula introduction force needed and the risk of bruising.

Nearest to Tip Filler Delivery

More Accurate filler placement
Reduced product loss

Practitioners can see and feel the end of the cannula tip. Delivery of filler near the end of the tip creates a more accurate sense of filler placement. It also reduces product loss in the tip ending.

Proprietary Surface Treatment

Up to 50% better gliding
Reduced patient discomfort

STERiGLIDE cannulas are made of the highest quality steel with a proprietary surface treatment. This reduces friction with skin tissue and patient discomfort, and improves the cannula handling.

Clear Side-Port Marking

More accurate filler placement
Better handling

The hard polymer hub of the STERiGLIDE cannula has a clear side-port marking. The marking indicates the position of the needle opening and acts as a visual aid for more accurate filler delivery.
