2. Birmingham gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_gauge

   Hypodermic needles are available in a wide variety of outer diameters described by gauge numbers. Smaller gauge numbers indicate larger outer diameters. [5] Inner diameter depends on both gauge and wall thickness. The following chart shows nominal inner diameter and wall thickness for regular-wall needles.

3. Hypodermic needle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypodermic_needle

   Hypodermic needles are normally made from a stainless-steel or Niobium tube [17] through a process known as tube drawing where the tube is drawn through progressively smaller dies to make the needle. The end of the needle is bevelled to create a sharp pointed tip, letting the needle easily penetrate the skin. [18] A hypodermic needle tip under ...

   The gauge of the needle used can range from 25 gauge to 27 gauge, while the length can vary between 1 ⁄ 2-inch to 5 ⁄ 8-inch for injections using a syringe and needle. [ 3 ] : 722 For subcutaneous injections delivered using devices such as injector pens , the needle used may be as thin as 34 gauge (commonly 30–32 gauge), and as short as 3 ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winged_infusion_set

   It consists, from front to rear, of a hypodermic needle, two bilateral flexible "wings", flexible small-bore transparent tubing (often 20–35 cm long), and lastly a connector (often female Luer). This connector attaches to another device: e.g. syringe , vacuum tube holder/hub, or extension tubing from an infusion pump or gravity-fed infusion ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_injection

   Fragment of a hypodermic needle stuck inside the arm of an IV drug user (x-ray). Drug injection is a method of introducing a drug into the bloodstream via a hollow hypodermic needle, which is pierced through the skin into the body (usually intravenously, but also at an intramuscular or subcutaneous, location).

7. Venipuncture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venipuncture

   The equipment consists of a plastic adapter, also known as a tube or needle holder/hub, a hypodermic needle and a vacuum tube. Under certain circumstances, a syringe may be used, often with a butterfly needle, which is a plastic catheter attached to a short needle. In the developing world, the evacuated tube system is the preferred method of ...
