Terumo 18G Hypodermic Needle × 1 in | ConceptASR

Terumo 18G hypodermic needle with thin-wall design

The Terumo 18G hypodermic needle is a conventional needle designed for use by qualified healthcare professionals. It features an 18G gauge, a 1-inch or 2.54 cm length and a thin-wall construction that supports efficient fluid flow.

The 18G size may be used for professional procedures requiring a relatively large needle diameter. Gauge and length must always be selected by a qualified professional according to the procedure, medication, administration technique and patient’s needs.

This product includes the needle only. A compatible syringe must be selected separately.

Thin-wall construction

The thin-wall design provides a larger internal diameter while maintaining the specified 18G external gauge. This construction supports efficient fluid flow during aspiration, transfer or administration.

It can be useful when a professional procedure requires an 18G needle and the efficient passage of a compatible solution.

The needle’s suitability depends on the procedure being performed and the properties of the medication or solution involved. Professionals must always follow the product instructions and applicable clinical protocols.

Precision-manufactured double bevel

Terumo conventional hypodermic needles feature a unique double bevel and are precision manufactured for sharpness. According to Terumo, this design promotes easier penetration, supporting convenient handling for clinicians and patient comfort.

This is a conventional hypodermic needle with a sharp point. It must be handled carefully and used only by an authorized person who has received the appropriate training.

This model does not include an integrated safety mechanism. When a safety device is required by regulation, workplace policy or the type of procedure being performed, an appropriate safety needle should be selected.

Pink hub for 18G gauge identification

The pink hub provides quick visual identification of the 18G gauge among the different needle sizes stored in a professional healthcare environment.

Colour identification can help healthcare professionals locate the desired format more efficiently. However, the gauge and length printed on the individual package must always be verified before use.

This model measures 1 inch or 2.54 cm. A longer Terumo 18G × 1½-inch needle is also available separately under SKU 280-NN-1838R.

Sterile and single-use

Each Terumo needle is supplied sterile in an individual package and is intended for single use. A new needle must be used for every procedure to help reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

The individual package must be inspected before use. Do not use the product if the packaging is open, damaged or appears compromised.

Following the procedure, the needle must be immediately discarded in an approved sharps container according to workplace protocols and all applicable requirements. It must never be reused or resterilized.
