Product Description
The Ideal Polypropylene Hub Needle Pack comes with 5 needles, perfect for farm animal use. The canula is crafted from high - quality stainless steel. The tri - beveled anti - coring tips are precisely computer - ground to ensure uniform sharpness. These needles are sterile, non - pyrogenic, and can be autoclaved. They feature a silicone coating that makes insertion easy, reducing penetration resistance and minimizing discomfort for animals. The needles are color - coded according to ISO standards. When buying needles, know that a slip tip needle simply attaches to the syringe end, while a lure lock screws on. All syringes can accept both types. KV Supply offers needles and syringes separately or as a set, and they are all sterile and individually wrapped. Remember, the higher the gauge number, the smaller the needle. For example, a 25 ga needle is great for small animals like kittens and small puppies, while a 16 ga needle is suitable for larger, tougher - skinned animals such as cattle and hogs. Needle length also matters; large animals need longer needles and small animals need shorter ones. Here are some common usage guidelines: Use 18 ga to 19 ga 1' needles for giving fluids to small animals, 22 ga to 23 ga 3/4' for small - animal vaccines, 25 ga 5/8' for very small animals' vaccines, 20 ga to 21 ga 1 1/2' for horses and cattle vaccines and medications, 20 ga to 19 ga 1' for sheep and goats' medications and vaccines, and 14 ga to 16 ga for tough - skinned animals like pigs. Note that if shipping to Washington DC, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, or Maine, needles or vaccines including needles require a veterinarian's prescription. Also, they cannot be shipped internationally, to Guam, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands.
Using these needles is straightforward. First, select the right needle based on the animal's size and the task. For small animals like kittens, a 25 ga 5/8' needle is a good choice for vaccines. For larger animals such as cattle, go for a 20 ga to 21 ga 1 1/2' needle for vaccines and medications. Attach the needle to the syringe - a slip tip just pops on, while a lure lock screws on. When inserting the needle, the silicone coating will make it easy and less painful for the animal. Remember to always use a sterile needle. After use, dispose of the needle properly to avoid any accidents. Keep the needles in a clean, dry place. If you want to reuse them, you can autoclave them as they are autoclavable. Also, be aware that if you're shipping to certain states, you'll need a prescription from a veterinarian. And you can't ship these needles internationally, to Guam, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands.
