OverviewIdeal Disposable Hypodermic Needles with aluminum hard hub are single-use needles designed for livestock vaccination and medication injection. The 16 gauge x 1" size is one of the most widely used large-bore needle combinations in beef cattle programs — providing the maximum flow rate of a 16 gauge bore with a 1" length that works for both subcutaneous (SQ) injections in cattle and shallow intramuscular (IM) injections in horses and large livestock. The 16 gauge bore is particularly valuable when administering highly viscous products such as oil-adjuvanted vaccines, iron dextran, and thick antibiotic suspensions where finer gauges would slow delivery or clog. The hard aluminum hub provides a rigid, secure connection to standard luer-lock and luer-slip syringes, and the sharp bevel ensures clean penetration with minimal tissue trauma.Key Features 16 gauge x 1" — versatile large-bore needle for SQ and shallow IM injections in cattle and horses 16 gauge bore delivers maximum flow rate for viscous, oil-adjuvanted, and suspension formulations 1" length suitable for SQ injections in cattle and shallow IM in large livestock Hard aluminum hub for a rigid, secure connection to luer-lock and luer-slip syringes Sharp bevel for clean, consistent penetration and minimal tissue trauma Single-use disposable design maintains sharpness and hygiene for every injection Compatible with standard veterinary syringes and automatic vaccinators Specifications Brand: Ideal Gauge: 16 ga Length: 1" Hub Material: Aluminum (Hard) Type: Disposable Hypodermic Needle SKU: 18533321 Barcode: 099355024045 Species: Cattle, horses, swine, sheep, goats Best For Subcutaneous (SQ) administration of oil-adjuvanted vaccines and viscous formulations in beef cattle Shallow intramuscular (IM) injections in horses and large livestock Iron dextran, thick antibiotic suspensions, and other high-viscosity products requiring maximum bore flow High-volume processing days where fast, consistent delivery of viscous products is critical
