Stainless Steel Medical Tri-bevelled Veterinary Needle Tube / Cannula For Injection 16G

A Medical Stainless Steel 304 Tri-bevelled Veterinary Needle Tube is the core component of a hypodermic needle used in veterinary medicine. It is a precise, hollow, cylindrical metal tube that is attached to a syringe hub and is responsible for penetrating the animal's skin and tissues to deliver an injection (or withdraw fluid). The veterinary needle tube is a medical tool used in animal care for injecting vaccines, medications, liquids or drawing blood. Veterinary needles can be in various sizes and lengths to accommodate different species and injection types, ranging from small pets to large farm animals. They are made of medical-grade stainless steel 304 due to its good corrosion resistance and formability. These needles are used for vaccinations, treatments, diagnoses and hydration. YUHONG GROUP is a leading supplier of stainless steel needle tubes,such as hypodermic needle tubes, veterinary needle tubes, blood collection needle tubes, etc..We can also grind different needle tips according to clients’ drawings or samples, like lancet bevel tip, blunt tip, quincke tip, back-cut tip and so on. If you’re interested in our SUS304 medical needle tubes, please don’t hesitate to contact us for detail information.

Regular Sizes:

• Common Gauge Sizes: Range from very fine (e.g., 27G, 25G) for small exotics or intradermal injections, to very large (e.g., 16G, 14G) for rapid fluid administration or draining thick fluids. Typical Range: 18G to 22G are among the most common for standard subcutaneous and intramuscular injections in cats, dogs, and livestock.
• Wall Thickness: This determines the needle's rigidity and the internal diameter (lumen). Standard wall thickness is common, but thin-wall designs exist for a larger lumen at the same gauge, allowing for faster flow rates.
• Length: Range from short (3/8" or 10mm for intradermal) to very long (3.5" or 90mm for deep intramuscular injections in large pigs or cattle). Typical Range: 1" (25mm) and 1.5" (40mm) are standard for many IM and SC injections.

Some Example Sizes Of Veterinary Needles:

Injection Areas:

The appropriate needle size is chosen based on the injection route, the animal's size, and the medication's viscosity.

• Intramuscular (IM): Deeper into muscle tissue. Requires longer lengths (1" to 1.5"+) and medium gauges (20G-22G).
• Subcutaneous (SC): Under the skin. Uses shorter to medium lengths (3/8" to 1") and finer gauges (22G-25G).
• Intravenous (IV): Into a vein. Requires sharp, fine points to minimize vein damage. Gauge and length depend on the vessel size (18G-22G common).
• Intradermal (ID): Within the skin layers. Uses the shortest and finest needles (25G-27G, 3/8").
• Intraperitoneal (IP): Into the abdominal cavity, common in small exotics and lab animals. Uses fine to medium gauges.

Beyond standard injections, these needle tubes are also used for:

• Vaccination
• Antibiotic And Anti-inflammatory Administration
• Fluid Therapy(14G-16G)
• Blood Collection
• Epidural/Spinal Anesthesia
• Aspiration
