KRUUSE 18G Disposable Needles
KRUUSE 18G Disposable Needles
What they are
KRUUSE 18 gauge standard disposable needles built for dependable penetration and higher flow rates when product viscosity or volume demands a wider bore. The polished tri-bevel grind and silicone-coated 304 stainless-steel cannula provide smooth entry with minimal drag.
Key features & construction
-
Wider-bore 18G lumen for faster delivery of viscous or oil-based injectables and for rapid draw-up from multi-dose vials
-
Precision tri-bevel, silicone-coated tip to reduce penetration and glide force while keeping insertion predictable
-
Universal Luer hub compatible with Luer slip and Luer lock syringes for secure connection in field and theatre settings
-
ISO colour code: pink for instant gauge recognition among mixed needle trays
-
Individually sterile peel-packs (EO-sterilised), single-use to support best injection hygiene
Available lengths (choose by route and site)
-
1″ (25 mm) – versatile IM/SC length for many equine and farm injection sites
-
1.5″ (38 mm) – extra reach for deeper IM placements in adult cattle and horses when label and anatomy require it
Selection guidance: Match gauge to product viscosity and patient size; match length to the route and target muscle/fat depth. Always follow the medicine SPC/label for needle size and technique.
Handling & good practice
-
Use a new sterile needle per animal and for every multi-dose vial entry to reduce contamination risk
-
Keep the protective cap on until use; avoid touching the cannula or Luer face
-
After use, do not recap—deposit directly into an approved sharps container
-
Store clean and dry with cartons closed to protect wrapper integrity
Typical veterinary uses
-
Oil-based vaccines, LA antibiotics, sedatives and other medications where 18G helps maintain flow and reduces plunger force
-
Rapid vial draw-up prior to switching to a fresh administration needle of the gauge/length specified for the patient and route
