Description

The BD Microlance 3 hypodermic needle, 25G x 25 mm (1 in), is a single-use conventional needle designed for injection and/or aspiration. It features a precisely ground tri-bevel tip with targeted surface polishing and a lubricated cannula to help reduce insertion friction. The regular-wall AISI 304 stainless steel tubing delivers a balanced combination of strength and flow, while the orange color-coded hub supports quick gauge identification in accordance with ISO 6009.
