BD 305197 - Disposable Needle 16G x 1" Sterile, Single-Use Hypodermic Needle for Thick Fluid Transfer, 100/BX, 10 BX/CS

The BD 305197 Disposable Needle is a sterile, single-use hypodermic needle measuring 16-gauge x 1 inch (25.4 mm), designed for medical applications requiring rapid fluid transfer or administration of viscous medications. Manufactured by BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), this high-flow needle offers a universal Luer hub, compatible with both Luer Lock and Luer Slip syringes, ensuring versatility across clinical settings.

With its extra-large 16G bore, this needle is ideal for procedures such as drawing thick solutions, rapid IV access, or intramuscular injections when high fluid volume or speed is required. It is engineered with BDs advanced precision tip grinding technology for optimal sharpness and smooth penetration.

Key Product Features

Key Benefits:

• Large Bore 16G Needle: Enables high-speed delivery or aspiration of viscous fluids, such as oil-based medications or contrast media.

• Universal Compatibility: Fits securely onto both Luer Lock and Luer Slip syringes via standard color-coded hub.

• Precision-Cut Tip: Minimizes insertion resistance for smoother penetration despite larger gauge.

• Sterile and Latex-Free: Individually packaged for contamination-free use; safe for latex-sensitive patients.

• Color-Coded Hub: Pink hub provides quick visual gauge identification for clinical efficiency.

Compatibility and Applications:
The BD 305197 needle is compatible with any standard syringe featuring a Luer Lock or Luer Slip tip. It is commonly used in:

• Drawing up or injecting thick medications (e.g., penicillin, hormone treatments)

• Compounding pharmacies for transferring dense solutions

• Veterinary medicine where fast fluid delivery is often required

• Emergency or trauma settings where rapid fluid administration is critical

Usage Guidelines:

• Inspect packaging for integrity before opening.

• Attach securely to the syringe using a twist-on (Luer Lock) or push-fit (Luer Slip) connection.

• Use aseptic technique to draw or deliver medication.

• Do not reuse or attempt to re-sterilize.

• Discard immediately after use in an approved sharps container.

Always refer to facility protocols and the medication manufacturers guidelines when using large-bore needles.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals:

• FDA Approved: Cleared for use under U.S. healthcare regulations.

• CE Marked: Certified for use in the European Union.

• Latex-Free and DEHP-Free: Safe for use with sensitive patients and across diverse clinical settings.

• ISO 13485 Certified Manufacturing: Produced in accordance with global medical device quality standards.

These certifications support the BD 305197s reliability, safety, and performance in high-demand medical environments.

Comparison with Competitor Products:
Compared to other 16G needles on the market, the BD 305197 offers:

• Superior tip sharpness from BDs advanced bevel-cutting process

• Consistent hub fit that resists detachment during high-pressure procedures

• Trusted BD manufacturing quality, ensuring minimal variability and risk of breakage
  Generic alternatives often fail to provide the same level of safety, reliability, or comfort, especially during procedures requiring high flow rates or multiple needle changes.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios:
This needle is frequently used by:

• Pharmacists and compounding technicians handling thick or reconstituted solutions

• Nurses and clinical staff administering IM injections or drawing viscous medications

• Veterinarians needing durable, large-bore needles for animal injections

• Emergency medical personnel for rapid infusion or syringe-to-IV transfers

Best suited for:

• High-viscosity drug administration

• Preparation and transfer of thick medical compounds

• IM injections where fluid thickness requires a larger bore

• Fluid aspiration in lab or diagnostic applications

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance:

• Store in a clean, temperature-controlled space

• Always inspect needle packaging and integrity before use

• Use appropriate plunger pressure to manage flow without damage

• Never reuse; single-use only

• Immediately dispose of after use in a compliant sharps disposal container
