SUS304 Stainless Steel Back Cut Indwelling Needle Tube For Intravenous Infusion Therapy
The Medical Stainless Steel Back Cut Indwelling Needle Tube is a high-precision, hollow, thin-walled tubular structure made from SUS304 Medical Grade Austenitic Stainless Steel, manufactured in compliance with the ISO 9626: 2016 international standard. It forms the core metallic needle of an Indwelling Venous Catheter (commonly called an IV cannula). The "back cut" (or "double grind" / "lancet point") refers to a specific grinding technique that creates an ultra-sharp, tri-beveled point with a secondary grind on the underside, significantly reducing penetration force and improving "first-stick" success rates. This indwelling needle tube acts as the initial introducer, puncturing the vein and allowing the over-the-needle flexible catheter to be advanced; the needle is then withdrawn and discarded.
Regular Sizes:
Common sizes for peripheral IV therapy:
| Gauge (G) | Typical Outer Diameter (OD) | Standard Length | Primary Use |
| 14G | 2.10 mm | 45 - 50 mm | Major trauma, rapid high-volume infusion. |
| 16G | 1.60 mm | 45 - 50 mm | Surgery, major bleeding, fast transfusion. |
| 18G | 1.20 mm | 42 - 45 mm | Routine blood transfusion, general fluids. |
| 20G | 0.90 mm | 32 - 38 mm | Most common adult peripheral IV, routine fluids, IV medications. |
| 22G | 0.70 mm | 25 - 32 mm | Pediatrics, elderly, fragile veins, prolonged infusions. |
| 24G | 0.55 mm | 19 - 25 mm | Neonates, pediatric, very small / fragile veins. |
| 26G | 0.45 mm | 19 - 25 mm | Extreme pediatrics / neonatology, superficial micro-veins. |

Key Advantages & Characteristics:
1. SUS304 Stainless Steel Material:
2. Back-Cut (Tri-Bevel) Point:
Main Injection/Insertion Areas:
1. Peripheral Veins of the Upper Extremities:
Dorsal metacarpal veins.
Cephalic vein.
Basilic vein.
Median antebrachial vein.
2. Peripheral Veins of the Lower Extremities (less common in adults, used more in infants):
Dorsal pedal veins.
Saphenous vein.
Scalp Veins: Primarily in neonates and infants.
Different Applications:
Peripheral Intravenous (IV) Therapy
Standard Peripheral IV Catheters: Most common use.
Safety IV Catheters: Integrated with needle retraction or shielding mechanisms to prevent needlestick injuries.
Midline Catheters: Used as the introducer for longer catheters placed in deeper arm veins.
Winged Infusion Sets ("Butterfly"): Often utilize a 25G or 27G stainless steel needle for short-term or pediatric access.
Specialized Administration Sets: For specific drugs or therapies requiring reliable venous access.
