Individually packaged veterinary needle. Confirm gauge, length and syringe compatibility against veterinary directions before use.
Choose the specified size
Ideal needle choices are identified by gauge and length, and those measurements determine the fit for the intended equipment and veterinary task. The available sizes are 20 gauge x 1 inch and 18 gauge x 1.5 inches. The two sizes are separate products. Match the package marking to the requested size before use; do not treat a longer needle or a different gauge as interchangeable.
Individual package details
Neogen individually hard-packs these needles. The package displays the gauge, length, and lot number. Keep each needle in its sealed package until use so those markings remain available for checking.
Use under veterinary direction
The right needle depends on the animal, the product being administered, the route directed by the veterinarian and the syringe connection. Confirm the size against the treatment directions and equipment before opening the package. If the order or label does not specify an appropriate needle, ask the administering veterinarian rather than choosing by appearance. Follow the product label for preparation, route, dose and handling.
Package and handling
Keep each hard pack sealed until needed. Inspect it for damage before use, and discard a package that is open, wet, punctured or otherwise compromised. Handle used needles carefully and place them promptly in a suitable sharps container according to local requirements. Do not reuse a disposable needle.
A size check worth repeating
Read the individual marking whenever you change needle size. The 20G x 1 inch and 18G x 1.5 inch products differ in both bore and reach. Confirm the selected size against the prescribed task and veterinarian’s directions before opening the package. If the label does not match the ordered size, set the package aside and resolve the mismatch before use.
Color coding as a secondary check
Neogen uses ISO color coding for the polypropylene hub: yellow identifies 20 gauge and pink identifies 18 gauge. Use the printed gauge and length on the sealed unit as the final check, especially when multiple sizes are stored together. Return unused units to a clean, dry storage area with their labels intact.
