Veterinary Blunt Needle 12 mm (Small Hub)

Veterinary Blunt Needle 12 mm (Small Hub)

This 12 mm small-hub blunt needle is designed for precision work where shallow depth, stable control, and consistent delivery are priorities. Its compact length supports careful handling during dosing, especially in small-animal and research settings.

The manufacturer specifies a 304 stainless steel needle combined with a brass hub to balance corrosion resistance with a stable syringe connection. The short form factor is particularly useful in situations that require accurate placement without excessive penetration.

With multiple gauge options, teams can standardize the needle platform while selecting the most appropriate diameter for medication viscosity, animal size, and procedure requirements. This makes it suitable for programs that dose many animals in sequence and want repeatable handling characteristics.

Key benefits

• Compact 12 mm needle length for controlled shallow injections
• Wide gauge availability for matching different dosing requirements
• Corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel needle for durability and hygiene
• Small hub format supports better precision and stable handling
• Useful across veterinary, aquaculture, and laboratory environments

Typical applications

• Small animals (cats, dogs, rabbits and similar cases requiring controlled dosing)
• Aquaculture and fish vaccination / treatment protocols where short length helps accuracy
• Laboratory research involving small rodents and controlled shallow administration
• Subcutaneous and intradermal injections where shallow depth is required
• Situations that benefit from a lightweight, easy-to-handle short needle format

Materials and construction

• Needle: 304 stainless steel (corrosion resistant; supports long-lasting performance)
• Hub: brass (stable connection and reliable handling)
• Design: short 12 mm needle length with small hub for improved control

Available options

• Gauge range: 14G, 16G, 17G, 18G, 19G, 20G, 21G, 22G, 23G
• Length options referenced by the manufacturer include 3/4", 1/2", 1", 3/2" (availability may vary by batch and configuration)

Operational notes

• Select gauge/length based on the animal, medication viscosity, and the required depth.
• Follow clinic sterilization and sharps-disposal procedures and applicable local regulations.

Gauge selection notes

• Lower gauge numbers indicate larger diameters; choose based on medication viscosity and the required flow rate.
• For delicate procedures, prioritize the smallest gauge that reliably delivers the dose to help minimize discomfort.
• Always align needle choice with veterinary direction and local practice standards.
