Product Description
The Kruuse Injector Needle (16G x 1½) offers one of the most frequently used and versatile needle sizes by veterinarians. Its 16G (1.6 mm) diameter and 38 mm (3.8 cm) length provide an excellent balance for both intramuscular (IM) injections and routine procedures such as blood draws. This thickness supports the flow of medium-viscosity fluids without causing significant trauma to animal tissue.
The needle's extra-sharp tip easily penetrates the tissue barrier, helping to reduce stress on the animal during the procedure. The aluminum hub (cap) on the needle provides superior durability compared to plastic caps, significantly reducing the risk of the needle becoming dislodged or broken during surgical procedures. The Luer-Lock connection ensures a secure clamping of the injector and needle, preventing drug loss and contamination. The economical 100-piece pack supports the efficient operation of your clinic.
Advantages
Excellent Balance: Thanks to its medium thickness and length, it is the ideal standard for a wide variety of procedures such as injections and blood collection. Secure Fixation: The aluminum hub and Luer-Lock system maintain the stability of the needle even under high pressure, increasing the safety of the veterinarian and the comfort of the patient. Tissue-Friendly Penetration: Extra sharpness ensures that the injection is performed quickly and painlessly, reducing the animal's resistance to subsequent applications. Clinic-Specific Volume: The economical packaging of 100 needles allows for the creation of a continuous and reliable stock of needles despite intensive use.
Applications
Routine Injections: Routine intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) drug administration to large and medium-sized animals. Blood Collection: Quick and efficient collection of venous blood samples (especially in animals with relatively prominent veins). Fluid Transfer: Preparation and transfer of drugs and fluids before or during surgical operations. Multipurpose Use: General-purpose injection needle meeting standard requirements in clinical and field settings.
