Terumo 18G Hypodermic Needle 1½ in | ConceptASR

Terumo 18G hypodermic needle in a 1½-inch length

The Terumo 18G hypodermic needle 1½ in is a conventional needle designed for use by qualified healthcare professionals. It features an 18G gauge, a 1½-inch or 3.81 cm length and a thin-wall construction that supports efficient fluid flow.

This model provides additional length compared with the Terumo 18G × 1-inch needle. It may be suitable for professional procedures that require a longer needle, depending on the solution, administration technique and professional clinical judgment.

Gauge and length must always be selected according to the procedure, medication and patient’s needs. This product includes the needle only; a compatible syringe must be purchased separately.

Thin-wall construction

The thin-wall design provides an optimized internal diameter while maintaining the specified 18G external gauge. This construction supports the efficient passage of compatible solutions during aspiration, transfer or administration.

An 18G needle has a relatively large diameter compared with higher-gauge needles such as 21G, 23G or 25G. It should therefore be selected only when an 18G format is appropriate for the intended procedure.

The suitability of the needle depends on the properties of the medication or solution and the procedure being performed. Professionals must follow all applicable instructions and 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 product has a sharp point and must be handled carefully to reduce the risk of an accidental needlestick injury. It must be used only by an authorized professional with the appropriate training.

The 280-NN-1838R does not include an integrated safety mechanism. When a safety device is required, an appropriate safety needle should be selected.

Pink hub for 18G gauge identification

The pink hub provides convenient visual identification of the 18G gauge among the different needles stored in a professional healthcare setting.

Colour identification helps professionals locate the desired gauge more efficiently. However, the 18G gauge and 1½-inch length printed on the individual package must always be confirmed before use.

A shorter Terumo 18G × 1-inch model is also available separately under SKU 280-NN-1825R. Offering both lengths allows healthcare professionals to choose the format suited to the intended procedure.

Sterile and single-use

Each Terumo needle is supplied sterile in an individual package and is intended for one-time use. Using a new needle for every procedure helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

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

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