BD Microlance 3 Needle 23G × 1" (Single Piece) – Hypodermic Needle

The BD Microlance 3 Needle 23G × 1" (1's) is a sterile, disposable hypodermic needle manufactured by Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD). It is designed for selected medical procedures involving medication administration, fluid aspiration, medication preparation, and other clinical applications requiring a 23-gauge needle.

Part of the established BD Microlance 3 range, this needle features a precision-engineered stainless steel cannula with a bevelled tip designed to facilitate penetration during appropriate clinical procedures.

The 23-gauge (23G) needle has a nominal outer diameter of approximately 0.6mm, making it narrower than 21G, 18G, and 16G hypodermic needles. This relatively fine-bore configuration is suitable for selected medical applications where a smaller needle diameter is clinically appropriate.

The 1-inch needle length, equivalent to approximately 25mm, provides a defined working length for injection and fluid-handling procedures requiring this needle configuration.

The BD Microlance 3 23G × 1" needle is designed for attachment to compatible medical syringes through an appropriate Luer connection. Its needle hub allows connection to suitable syringe fittings for medication administration, aspiration, and other clinical procedures.

The needle incorporates a protective cap to help protect the cannula and needle tip before use. Its stainless steel construction provides structural integrity during intended medical applications.

The single-piece (1's) configuration is suitable for individual clinical procedures and healthcare facilities requiring hypodermic needles supplied or issued individually.

The BD Microlance 3 needle is intended for single use, supporting infection prevention practices when handled and disposed of according to appropriate medical protocols.

This product is suitable for hospitals, clinics, outpatient departments, pharmacies, laboratories, and other healthcare facilities requiring disposable hypodermic needles for routine clinical applications.
