Description
The BD PrecisionGlide Needle is a sterile 16G x 1 in. hypodermic needle with a regular bevel, from BD's PrecisionGlide conventional needle line. It suits procedure areas and stock rooms that need a large-bore sterile needle for transfer and preparation work.
- Large-Bore Cannula – the 16G lumen moves viscous fluids and supports high-volume transfer
- Regular Bevel – the standard bevel geometry clinicians expect from a conventional needle
- Sterile Case Supply – individually sterile needles in a case of 1,000 for working stock
A Large-Bore Conventional Needle for Transfer and Preparation
Not every needle task is an injection: large-bore needles earn their shelf space moving fluid between containers, reconstituting and preparing. At 16G, this needle passes thick medications and suspensions that would crawl through finer gauges, and its 1 in. length suits vial and container work. The regular bevel is the familiar PrecisionGlide geometry, ground for clean penetration of stoppers and seals. Each needle is sterile and single use, with a lavender hub that follows the 16G colour convention for instant size recognition. Cases of 1,000 keep central supply and pharmacy benches stocked without frequent reordering.

Why a Conventional Needle Still Belongs in the Stock Room
Safety-engineered needles own the injection workflow, but preparation benches still run on conventional large-bore needles for transfer tasks. Stocking the BD original keeps bevel quality and hub fit predictable across those tasks.
- Flow for Thick Fluids – the 16G lumen handles what finer needles cannot move in reasonable time
- Predictable Quality – PrecisionGlide grinding keeps penetration consistent needle after needle
- Case Economics – 1,000 sterile needles per case at working-stock scale
- BD Conventional Line – PrecisionGlide is BD's core needle line, the reference for conventional hypodermics
