DISPOVAN Needle (18G x 1½”)

🔬 Clinical Applications:-

The 18G needle is designed for high-flow, deep-tissue procedures. Its wide bore and long shaft make it suitable for:

💉 Injection & Aspiration:-

• Intramuscular (IM) injections
  • Antibiotics, vaccines, hormonal therapies
  • Common sites: gluteus maximus, deltoid, vastus lateralis
• Aspiration procedures
  • Joint fluid removal (arthrocentesis)
  • Cyst or abscess drainage
  • Bone marrow aspiration (in some cases)
• Contrast media injection
  • Radiology and imaging procedures requiring viscous agents
• Blood collection
  • Blood donation or thick sample withdrawal

🏥 Emergency & Critical Care:-

• Rapid drug administration
  • Emergency medications requiring fast delivery
  • Trauma or shock scenarios
• Fluid resuscitation
  • IV access for large-volume fluid infusion (via IV cannula)

🧪 Technical Highlights:-

• Tri-beveled tip: Minimizes pain and tissue trauma
• Regular bevel: Balanced penetration angle for general use
• EO sterilized: Ensures microbial safety and long shelf life
• Color-coded hub: Easy identification in multi-gauge setups
• Universal fit: Compatible with most syringe types

🧠 Theory-Based Insights:-

• Gauge 18G is considered a large bore needle, ideal for:
  • Viscous fluid handling (e.g., thick medications, blood)
  • Fast flow rate: Reduces procedure time
  • Reduced clogging risk during aspiration
• Needle length (1½”) provides:
  • Deep tissue access for adult IM injections
  • Stable insertion in muscular regions
  • Reduced risk of subcutaneous misplacement
• Bevel geometry:
  • Regular bevel offers a compromise between sharpness and control
  • Suitable for both injection and withdrawal procedures
