What are Veterinary Needles?

Veterinary needles are used in various medical applications for animals, such as injecting vaccines, collecting blood samples, and infusing medications. These veterinary needle tubes are typically produced by stainless steel material grade, like SUS304 and come in various sizes. The size of the needle are essential to ensure the needle tube to reach the required area and infuse the medication or fluid without pain or discomfort. The sizes(Gauge and length) of the needle tube are essential factors to consider when selecting a suitable veterinary needle. The Gauge refers to the diameter of the needle tube, with lower gauge indicating thicker needles. The length of the needle tube should be appropriate for the size of animals and the depth of the injection sites. Choosing the suitable Gauge and length can be helpful to reduce the pain and discomfort of animals.
