Uses
Needle size is given by gauge, the outer diameter, and by length. The higher the gauge number, the finer the needle: a 21G needle has an outer diameter of 0.8 mm, and its 40 mm (1½ inch) length reaches muscle in most adults. That makes it a standard choice for intramuscular injections, for drawing up medicines from vials and ampoules, and for venepuncture when blood is taken with a syringe.
The colour code on the hub lets staff pick the right gauge at a glance from a tray or a sharps drawer, and the plastic cap protects the point until the moment of use.
- Check that the pack is sealed and undamaged, then peel it open at the hub end.
- Attach the hub firmly to the syringe nozzle before removing the cap.
- Draw up or give the injection with the bevel facing up.
- Do not recap by hand; drop the used needle straight into a sharps container.
