Product Specifications

BD's current U.S. specifications confirm these characteristics.

BD PrecisionGlide™ Technology

BD PrecisionGlide needles are designed with a thin wall, tri-bevel tip and proprietary lubricant to support ease of penetration. The thin-wall design provides a larger internal diameter than a comparable regular-wall needle while maintaining the outside diameter associated with the specified gauge.

For healthcare facilities stocking multiple needle configurations, PrecisionGlide needles provide the ability to select the appropriate combination of gauge and length for the intended procedure.

21G x 1" Needle with Green Hub

The 21-gauge, 1-inch configuration gives healthcare professionals another option between larger-bore needles such as the 18G models and smaller-gauge needles used for other clinical applications.

The green hub also makes the 21G needle easy to distinguish visually from the pink-hub 18G PrecisionGlide needles.

Needle gauge and length should always be selected according to the intended procedure, medication, patient requirements and applicable clinical protocols.

This needle complements other commonly used IV supplies such as IV bags, IV catheters, IV Start Kits, alcohol prep pads, saline flush syringes, syringes, alcohol prep pads and tourniquets.
