Hypodermic Needle

Disposable hypodermic needles have several essential characteristics for their medical use:

Sterility and Single Use:
They are sterilized (e.g., by EO gas, as shown in the image “STERILE EO”) and designed for single use only to prevent contamination and the transmission of infections.
Material of Construction:
Made of high-quality stainless steel, they are non-toxic and non-pyrogenic.
Tip Design:
They feature a sharp, beveled tip for smooth penetration and maximum patient comfort.

Easy Identification:
The needle hub is color-coded by size (gauge) for quick and easy identification, and can be semi-transparent to allow for visualization of blood flow (flashback).

Compatibility:
They are designed to securely connect to syringes, often via a Luer Lock or Luer Slip connector.

Quality Certifications:
They bear conformity marks such as the CE mark (e.g., “CE 0123” in the image), attesting to their compliance with European safety and quality standards.

Packaging:
Each needle is generally individually sterile packaged to maintain its integrity until use.
