Hypodermic Needle 21G x 1.5 Sterile Disposable

Description

1. Product Overview
The Hypodermic Needle 21G x 1.5” Sterile Disposable is a precision-engineered medical-grade device designed for reliable parenteral drug administration and fluid aspiration in clinical and industrial healthcare settings. Its primary industrial use spans high-volume vaccine delivery, medication preparation, and laboratory fluid handling where gauge consistency and sterility integrity are non-negotiable. The key value proposition lies in its optimized balance of flow rate (21G) and penetration length (1.5”), reducing patient trauma while enabling deep intramuscular or subcutaneous access—strategically critical for global immunization programs and high-throughput hospital systems.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material composition: Medical-grade stainless steel (needle), polypropylene or polyethylene hub, latex-free

• Sterility standard: Ethylene oxide (EtO) or gamma sterilized; validated to SAL 10⁻⁶ per ISO 11135

• Bevel grind: Tri-bevel, anti-coring design for minimal tissue drag

• Gauge / length: 21G (0.819 mm outer diameter) x 1.5” (38.1 mm)

• Wall type: Regular wall

• Hub color coding: Green (ISO 6009 compliant)

• Packaging options: Peel-open sterile blister packs (individual), 100/box, 1000/case; custom bulk clinical packs available

• Shelf life: 5 years from sterilization date when stored at 10–25°C, <60% RH, away from UV light

• Latex content: None (latex-free)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Hospital systems, diagnostic labs, pharmaceutical manufacturing, public health vaccination campaigns, veterinary medicine

• Operational use cases:

  • IM injections (e.g., vaccines, antibiotics) in adult patients – 1.5” length ensures deep muscle deposition

  • Blood sampling from deep veins in patients with difficult access

  • Large-volume drug reconstitution in pharmacy compounding units

• Performance advantage over alternatives:

  • Compared to 22G or 23G: 21G delivers higher flow rate (≈36 mL/min vs. ≈25 mL/min), reducing injection time and clinician fatigue

  • Compared to 1” length: 1.5” minimizes leakage and subcutaneous deposition in larger patients, improving therapeutic efficacy

  • Precision bevel reduces coring, lowering particulate contamination risk – a key benefit for biologic drugs

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Lot-to-lot dimensional tolerance ≤ ±0.02 mm; 100% needle integrity testing via optical inspection

• Supply reliability: Dual manufacturing sites (ISO 13485 certified) with 6-month safety stock buffer against supply chain disruption

• Logistics capability: Ambient temperature shipment worldwide; 48-hour dispatch for stock orders from regional hubs (NA, EU, SEA)

• Price competitiveness: Tiered pricing reduces per-unit cost by 12–18% vs. major brands at equivalent volumes

• Sustainability: Recyclable polypropylene hubs; reduced blister packaging material by 22% vs. industry standard

• Technical support: Full sterility validation reports, IFU, and lot traceability via QR-coded boxes; EOL disposal guidance available

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 metric tons (MT) – equivalent to approx. 2 million units depending on packaging configuration

• Loading capacity: 20 MT per standard 20-foot container (FCL), palletized and shrink-wrapped for moisture protection
