BD Microlance Needles - 25g Orange 5/8 inch

The silicone coating on the needle reduces friction, allowing for a smoother and more comfortable insertion and withdrawal with minimized tissue trauma.

The 25g Orange 5/8" needle is suitable for many common medical applications requiring this specific gauge and length, such as vaccinations or administering certain medications. However, always refer to medical guidelines or consult a healthcare professional for the appropriate needle size for a specific procedure.

Used needles must be disposed of immediately in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container or a heavy-duty plastic household container (like a laundry detergent bottle) with a tight-fitting lid, taped shut, and labeled 'Sharps Waste.' Never discard loose needles in the trash or recycling.

'CE Marked' indicates that the product meets the health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). It signifies compliance with relevant EU regulations.

Yes, these needles are latex-free and PVC-free, making them a safe option for individuals with latex sensitivities or allergies.

These needles typically have a long expiry date, usually 3 years or more, ensuring product longevity when stored correctly.

Always check that the individual packaging is intact and has not been compromised. Use the needle immediately after opening its sterile packaging.

Ensure both the needle's Luer-Lock connector and the syringe's Luer-Lock tip are clean, dry, and undamaged. Confirm that the syringe is a Luer-Lock type and not Luer-Slip. Twist the needle firmly onto the syringe until snug.

Check that the needle is not bent or damaged. Ensure the correct injection technique is being used for the intended site. The ultra-sharp tip and silicone coating are designed for smooth insertion, so resistance may indicate an issue with technique or a damaged needle.

Re-seat the needle, ensuring it is twisted completely onto the Luer-Lock fitting. Check for any damage to the Luer-Lock on either the needle or the syringe, as this can compromise the seal.

Do not use the needle if the packaging is torn, punctured, or shows signs of tampering, or if the needle itself appears bent or damaged. Use a new, sterile needle from intact packaging.
