Hypodermic Needles

Needles

Needles come in various lengths and diameters for various uses. Needles are made of hollow stainless steel and consist of:

A Hub, which fits onto the tip of the syringe

A Shaft, which is the length of the needle

The Bevel, which is the slanted tip of the needle

The bevel on a needle creates a narrow slit or hole which allows the fluid in the syringe to be injected into the patient. Long beveled tips are generally sharper and narrower which reduces discomfort.

Needles are classified according to their length and diameter. Needle lengths can vary from .5 inches to 3 inches. The diameter of a needle is measured in gauges. The larger the needle gauge the smaller the diameter (i.e. a 25 gauge needle has a smaller diameter than a 19 gauge needle). A higher gauge needle lets the patient experience less pain and bruising during injection.
