FAQS About Our Range Of Hypodermic Needles.

How are NHS supply chain supplies sourced?

Medical devices are required to carry ‘Unique Device Identification’ (UDI) compliant barcode labels, which will carry scannable information relating to the production of the device, for example the expiry date and the serial or lot number. 

How are your needles sterilised?

Sterilisation is by a fully validated gamma irradiation process. Supplied with a consolidated certificate of conformity. Packed in an easy-tear, quad laminate pouches. Pouches are VHP and alcohol impermeable making them suitable for most transfer processes.

Why is needle length important?

Standard needles vary in length from ⅜” to 3 ½”.  The length of the needle required is determined by its intended use. Different length needles are used for different areas and types of administration.  Using the wrong needle length could result in poor administration and absorption of medication or damage the patient’s tissue and muscles resulting in bruising or bleeding.
