BD 305195 - Needle Disposable 18x1" 100/BX, 10 BX/CS

The BD 305195 PrecisionGlide Needle 18G x 1 Inch Bevel Sterile Pink Shelf Pack is engineered for reliable performance in procedures requiring higher flow rates and efficient fluid transfer. Featuring BD PrecisionGlide technology, this needle is designed with a precision-engineered bevel that supports smooth penetration and consistent results across demanding clinical applications.

The 18-gauge diameter combined with a 1-inch length makes this needle well suited for aspiration, medication preparation, and procedures where rapid flow is required. Each needle is sterile and individually packaged in a shelf pack format, supporting efficient storage, quick access, and strong infection control practices.

Key Benefits

This needle delivers dependable penetration and controlled performance due to its precision bevel design, helping clinicians work efficiently during higher-demand procedures. The larger 18G lumen supports improved flow characteristics, reducing resistance during aspiration or injection.

The sterile, single-use design minimizes cross-contamination risk and supports infection prevention standards. The pink color-coded hub allows fast visual identification, helping reduce selection errors and improve workflow efficiency in busy clinical environments.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 305195 PrecisionGlide Needle is compatible with standard luer lock and luer slip syringes commonly used in healthcare settings.

It is widely used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, laboratories, physician offices, and specialty care facilities. Typical applications include medication preparation, aspiration, specimen handling, fluid transfer, and other procedures where a larger gauge needle is clinically appropriate.

Usage Guidelines

The needle should be attached securely to a compatible syringe using standard aseptic technique. Packaging should be inspected prior to use to ensure sterility and product integrity.

This needle is intended for single use only and must not be reused or resterilized. After use, it should be disposed of immediately in an approved sharps container in accordance with facility protocols.
