Uses
At 0.6 mm outer diameter, a 23G needle is noticeably finer than the 21G and 19G sizes, so the puncture is smaller and the injection less painful. The 25 mm (1 inch) length reaches the deltoid muscle in children and slim adults, and for subcutaneous work it is inserted at an angle so that the tip stays in the fatty layer.
The fine bore also makes it a good choice for venepuncture in patients with small or fragile veins, including children and the elderly, although fluids pass through it more slowly than through a wider needle.
- Attach the needle hub firmly to the syringe.
- Remove the cap only when ready to inject.
- Insert at the angle required for the injection route, bevel up.
- Discard the needle without recapping into a sharps container.
