FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the 25g Orange 5/8" BD Microlance Needle?
This needle is designed for medical applications requiring precise fluid delivery or aspiration, such as injections, offering a balance of sharpness and smoothness for patient comfort.
Is this needle suitable for all types of injections?
The 25g gauge and 5/8 inch length are suitable for many subcutaneous and some intramuscular injections, particularly where minimal discomfort is a priority. However, the suitability depends on the medication volume, viscosity, and injection site.
How does the silicone coating benefit the user?
The silicone coating reduces friction between the needle and tissue, allowing for a smoother, less painful insertion and withdrawal.
What does 'Luer-Lock' mean?
Luer-Lock refers to a standardized connector system that allows a needle hub to be screwed onto a syringe tip, creating a secure, leak-proof connection.
Are these needles reusable?
No, these are single-use, sterile needles and must be disposed of in a sharps container immediately after use to prevent infection and injury.
What are the packaging options?
These needles are available in pack sizes of 10 and 100, with each needle individually wrapped for sterility.
Is this product latex-free?
Yes, the BD Microlance needles are latex-free and also PVC-free.
Troubleshooting
Needle does not attach securely to syringe.
Ensure you are using a syringe with a standard Luer-Lock fitting. Try gently twisting the needle connector onto the syringe tip until it locks firmly. Do not force the connection.
Difficulty inserting the needle.
Verify that the needle is not bent or damaged. Ensure the injection site is prepared correctly and the skin is taut. The silicone coating is designed for smooth insertion, so significant resistance may indicate an issue with technique or the needle itself.
Leakage at the connection point.
Re-ensure the Luer-Lock connector is fully and securely attached to the syringe. Check the syringe tip for any damage. If leakage persists, use a new needle and syringe.
