SHOMEA Single-Bevel Needle with slot

Precision technology, controllable size

The diameter, length of the needle body, and thread specifications all support customized precision machining, meeting the precise size requirements of different medical scenarios (e.g., minimally invasive puncture, infusion, sample collection, etc.).

Electrolytic polishing, low roughness and high brightness

The needle body surface undergoes electrolytic polishing/passivation treatment, resulting in low roughness and high brightness. This reduces liquid residue and tissue adhesion, improving the smoothness and cleanliness of clinical operations.

Resistance to high-pressure sterilization

The medical-grade stainless steel material has excellent resistance to high-pressure sterilization​ (e.g., autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilization), supporting repeated sterilization for reuse. This reduces the cost of medical consumables and aligns with the concept of sustainable medicine.

FAQs:

Q: What is the function of the threaded base? What equipment can it adapt to?

A: The threaded base is specifically designed for mechanical fixation and anti-slip. It can be screwed onto dedicated gavage instruments, fixed brackets, or custom experimental setups, ensuring the needle remains stable and at a fixed angle during operation, preventing displacement or liquid leakage due to animal struggle.

Q: Can the blue sleeve (marker ring) be customized in color or position?

A: Yes, the blue sleeve is typically made via laser etching or medical-grade silicone/polymer, and both color and position can be customized. This is very useful in multi-group experiments, helping researchers quickly distinguish needles of different specifications (e.g., length, outer diameter) or different medicine channels.

Q: Is the material biocompatible? Can it be autoclaved?

A: The product is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304/316L), meeting strict biocompatibility standards and being non-toxic and harmless. The material is heat-resistant and supports autoclaving or alcohol wipe sterilization, meeting the requirements for laboratory reuse or strict aseptic operations.

Q: How can I confirm if the needle size (e.g., outer diameter, inner diameter, length) is suitable for my experiment?

A: We offer a full range of custom sizing services. It is recommended to measure the required outer diameter (Gauge), effective working length, and thread interface size before use. You can also contact our technical support directly, inform us of your animal model (e.g., weight range) and experimental purpose, and we will recommend the most suitable specification for you.

Q: What are the advantages of this needle compared to ordinary plastic gavage needles on the market?

A: Compared to plastic needles, stainless steel is stiffer and less prone to bending, suitable for experiments requiring precise path control; wear-resistant and reusable, more economical in the long run; and has better chemical stability, unaffected by certain organic solvents or corrosive medicine, leading to higher data consistency.

Q: Is the threaded part prone to rusting or seizing?

A: Our threads undergo precision machining and mirror polishing, combined with high-grade stainless steel, providing excellent rust resistance and smoothness. As long as cleaning and sterilization are performed according to standard operating procedures, they will not seize or corrode even after long-term use.
