The Becton-Dickinson (BD) PrecisionGlide Needles are premium, single-use hypodermic needles designed for superior performance, comfort, and safety across a wide range of clinical, laboratory, and veterinary applications, providing reliable fluid withdrawal and injection. This product is packaged in a convenient dispenser box containing 100 individual sterile needles.

These needles are characterized by their 18-gauge (18g) diameter, which is color-coded pink or green (often green for 18g in common BD systems, though sometimes pink is used for specific BD product lines; here we assume the large bore 18g intended for high-flow or thick fluid withdrawal/mixing) for quick and standardized identification. The 18-gauge bore size represents a large diameter, making it ideal for drawing up or transferring highly viscous fluids, or for high-flow applications where rapid transfer is necessary, but it is typically not used for patient injection due to its size. The needle features a standard length of 1 inch (25.4 mm), which is versatile for accessing various depths, particularly for accessing vials or for certain deep intramuscular injections where a large bore is deemed appropriate, or more commonly, for medication preparation and mixing.

The defining feature is the PrecisionGlide technology, which refers to the unique, three-bevel, stainless steel cannula tip that is honed to an ultra-sharp point and lubricated with a special silicone coating. This design ensures smoother penetration with less patient discomfort (when used for injection) and minimal trauma to the tissues or rubber septums. The thin-wall technology further enhances flow rate compared to regular-wall needles of the same gauge, optimizing efficiency during fluid transfer or aspiration.

Each needle is equipped with a durable, translucent Luer-Lok hub, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection to any standard Luer-slip or Luer-Lok syringe, promoting both safety and ease of use for the practitioner. The entire unit is sterilized and intended for single-use only, strictly adhering to the highest global standards for hygiene and infection control. If you are searching for the best PrecisionGlide Needles then this option, with its large 18-gauge bore, ultra-sharp tip, and specialized wall technology for optimal flow, is best for you.

This box of 100 sterile needles is an essential, high-quality inventory item for practices requiring reliable and efficient fluid transfer and preparation instruments.
