BD 305145 PrecisionGlide 23G x 1" Hypodermic Needle

The BD 305145 PrecisionGlide™ 23G x 1" Hypodermic Needle is a sterile, single-use needle designed for general clinical applications requiring a smaller-diameter 23-gauge needle. The 1-inch length and turquoise color-coded hub make this configuration easy to identify when facilities stock multiple needle gauges and sizes.

BD PrecisionGlide needle technology incorporates a thin wall, tri-bevel tip and proprietary lubricant designed to provide ease of penetration. The thin-wall construction also increases the needle's internal diameter without increasing its outside diameter compared with a regular-wall needle of the same gauge.

23G x 1" Needle for General Clinical Use

At 23 gauge, BD 305145 has a smaller outside diameter than the 21G and 18G PrecisionGlide needles you've added to your practice inventory.

The 1-inch length provides another option for healthcare professionals selecting a needle according to the medication, procedure, patient and applicable clinical protocols. BD categorizes the 305145 for general use.

Why Does BD 305145 Use a Turquoise Hub?

Needle hub colors make it easier for healthcare professionals to visually differentiate needle gauges. The BD 305145 uses a turquoise hub, distinguishing this 23G configuration from other PrecisionGlide sizes such as the green 21G and pink 18G needles.

Color is a convenient visual identifier, but healthcare professionals should always verify the printed gauge and needle length before use rather than relying solely on hub color.

Understanding the Thin-Wall Design

A thin-wall needle maintains the outside diameter associated with its gauge while providing a larger internal diameter than a regular-wall needle.

BD's hypodermic catalog explains that this design can allow a thin-wall needle to provide flow comparable to a regular-wall needle one gauge larger. BD offers thin-wall construction in several PrecisionGlide sizes, including 23G.
