KRUUSE 21G Disposable Needles
KRUUSE 21G Disposable Needles
What they are
KRUUSE 21 gauge standard disposable needles engineered for repeatable, low-effort skin penetration and smooth injection feel. Each needle has a precision tri-bevel grind and a silicone-coated stainless-steel cannula to minimise insertion force while maintaining a clean cut.
Key features & build quality
304 stainless-steel cannula with consistent wall and lumen for reliable flow on aqueous and oil-based injectables
Precision tri-bevel tip for sharp, predictable entry and reduced tissue drag
Silicone coating to lower initial penetration and gliding force during placement
Universal Luer hub (fits Luer slip and Luer lock syringes) for secure push-fit/lock-on connection
ISO colour-coded hub – green for 21G for instant gauge recognition on busy calls
Individually sterile packs (EO-sterilised) with peel-open paper/film wrappers; single-use to support best injection hygiene
Size options (choose by species, site and route)
5/8″ (16 mm) – ideal for shallow SC injections in calves, lambs, dogs and cats, and for intradermal tests where appropriate
1″ (25 mm) – versatile length for many IM/SC farm and equine sites when moderate depth is required
1.5″ (38 mm) – extra reach for deeper IM injections in adult cattle and horses where label and anatomy demand it
Selection tip: Match gauge to product viscosity and patient size; match length to route and site depth. Always follow the medicine SPC/label for route, needle size and technique.
Handling & good practice
Use a new sterile needle per animal and per multi-dose vial entry to reduce cross-contamination risk
Keep protective caps on until use; avoid touching the cannula or hub luer surface
After use, do not recap; drop straight into an approved sharps container
Store clean, dry and out of sunlight; keep boxes closed to maintain wrapper integrity
Typical veterinary uses
Routine vaccination programmes on farm and yard
Sedatives, analgesics and antibiotics where a 21G bore offers a good balance of flow and tissue comfort
Draw-up from multi-dose vials prior to needle change for injection
