Product Information
Full details
BD Microlance Needles are designed for healthcare professionals and patients requiring reliable, high-precision injection tools. These 23g needles feature an ultra-sharp lancet point and specialized silicone coating to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience with minimal tissue resistance. While they offer exceptional quality and universal compatibility, they are single-use devices that must be disposed of immediately following sterile protocols to prevent contamination or needle-stick injuries.

FAQs
What does the 23g blue code mean?
The 23g refers to the needle gauge (thickness), and the blue colour corresponds to the EN ISO 6009 international standard for medical needle identification.
Can these needles be autoclaved and reused?
No. These needles are intended for single-use only. Reusing them compromises sterility and dulls the needle point, which can cause tissue damage.
Are these needles latex-free?
Yes, all BD Microlance needles are manufactured using materials that are free from natural rubber latex.
What is the length of this needle?
This specific variant has a needle length of 1 inch.
Are these needles CE marked?
Yes, BD Microlance needles are fully CE marked, confirming they meet high European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.
Troubleshooting
Needle hub does not lock onto the syringe
Verify that your syringe has a Luer-Lock mechanism. The needle may not fit correctly on a standard slip-tip syringe.
Fluid leaking at the connection point
Ensure the needle is tightened clockwise fully into the Luer-Lock thread. Do not over-tighten, as this may strip the plastic hub.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Before opening, inspect the individual sterile wrapper for any tears or damage. Do not use if the seal is compromised.
- Attachment: To attach, firmly twist the needle clockwise onto the Luer-Lock tip of your syringe until you feel a secure lock.
- Compatibility: These needles are designed for use with any standard Luer-Lock syringe. They are not intended for use with non-standard proprietary friction-fit systems unless an adapter is present.
- Handling: Handle the needle by the plastic hub only. Never touch the stainless steel shaft to maintain sterility.
- Disposal: These needles are classified as biohazard waste. Always dispose of them immediately after use in a puncture-resistant, approved sharps container.
