Sold here by the box for routine livestock, horse and companion animal dosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing a gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e — the number runs backwards, so 16G is much thicker than 25G. A thick needle moves viscous oily products without stalling and suits heavy-muscled cattle; a fine one is kinder on thin skin and small volumes. Match the length to the route your product's label specifies — a short needle into a heavy beast may never reach muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuer Lock versus Luer Slip\u003c\/strong\u003e — a Luer Lock tip screws the needle on so it cannot blow off under pressure, which matters with thick products and large volumes. A slip tip is quicker to change and fine for routine low-pressure dosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle use only. Do not re-sheath a used needle, and dispose of sharps in an approved container rather than in farm or household waste. Sale and possession of needles and syringes is regulated in some Australian states and territories — buy and use them in line with your local requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/terumo\"\u003eTerumo syringes and needles\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/health-care\"\u003eHealth Care\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/collections\/bd.oembed","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
