There are three elements to consider when choosing the correct needle size:
- Gauge
- Length
- Needle wall type
The gauge of a needle is indicated by a number on the needle itself, abbreviated as “G.” The higher the number, the smaller the outer diameter, and the needle appears thinner and more delicate. When choosing the right type for a procedure, it’s important to consider the gauge size and needle length appropriate for the task at hand. Smaller, shorter ones are less likely to cause pain and discomfort for the patient, but may be more difficult to handle for the practitioner.
The final element to consider is wall type thickness. It can significantly affect the size of the hole inside, the lumen, and how easily the viscous material passes through the needle. That’s why many needle manufacturers offer regular, thin, and ultra-thin wall options. Ultra-thin wall needles have a smaller inner diameter than regular wall needles but with the same flow rate, so you can use a smaller gauge with the same extrusion force. However, regular wall needles are less likely to flex than thin or ultra-thin due to the added thickness.
And no matter what, always consider the application to help you determine the best type of needle for your needs.
