What is 61850210-Box Magellan Hypodermic Safety Needle 22g X 1 (50 Count)?

The 61850210-Box Magellan Hypodermic Safety Needle is a sterile, single-bevel needle engineered for subcutaneous insulin administration. Each needle measures 22 gauge in diameter and 1 inch (25 mm) in length, a size widely accepted for diabetic self-injection. The defining feature is a built-in retractable safety shield that automatically covers the needle tip after use, helping to prevent accidental needlesticks and meet international safety standards.

Key features

• 22-gauge, 1-inch length — precise size for low-pain insulin delivery.
• Retractable safety shield — slides forward to lock the needle after injection.
• Sterile packaging — each box contains 50 individually sealed needles.
• Latex-free construction — reduces risk of allergic reactions.
• Luer-lock compatible — fits standard insulin syringes.
• ISO 7864 compliance — adheres to recognized safety standards.

To use the needle, attach it to a compatible Luer-lock syringe, draw the prescribed insulin dose, and insert the needle at a 90-degree angle into the chosen injection site. After delivering the dose, press the safety shield forward until it locks, then dispose of the entire assembly in a sharps container.
