Ideal aluminum hub needle (100 per box) 18 X 5/8
One hundred sterile single-use needles, 18 gauge by five eighths inch, aluminum hub, sized for shallow work on calves and small stock.
Details
Short and fine. Five eighths of an inch on an 18 gauge is a small-animal and young-stock needle, meant to stay just under the hide on calves, lambs and kids without punching deeper than intended. It is not a needle for grown cattle and it will tell you so quickly if you try. The cannula is regular-wall stainless with a computer-ground, tri-bevelled anti-coring tip, set in an ISO colour-coded aluminum hub. Tamper-evident cartridge, sterile, one use only. The advantage of a short fine needle is control. On a lamb or a young calf held across your knee you can feel exactly where the point is, and there is very little shaft hanging out to catch on anything. The disadvantage is fragility: it dulls fast on tough skin and it will not tolerate being wiped off on a rail and reused. Buy them by the hundred so changing one is never a decision, keep a sharps container within reach, and leave product-specific advice to your veterinarian or the label.
