What it’s for
Blunt and far less likely to stick you while drawing and transferring — but still a sharp that can go through skin under force.
What to check in the listing
For drawing, never injecting. Blunt does not mean safe: it is still a sharp that can go through skin under force, and it still goes in the sharps bin. Check the length reaches the bottom of your vial, and that it's luer-lock so it can't pop off under pressure.
At a glance
TypeNeedle
Gauge18GGauge is the needle's thickness. A higher number is a thinner needle: 31G is thinner than 30G. Glossary Needle length38 mmNeedle length is how long the needle is. 4–8 mm (5/32–5/16 in) is common for under-the-skin use, and 13 mm (1/2 in) insulin syringes are used under the skin too; muscle needles are usually 25 mm (1 in) or longer. Glossary Needle connectionLuer-lockNeedle connection is how the needle attaches. Fixed means it is built in (least dead space). Luer-lock screws on and cannot pop off. Luer-slip pushes on. None means there is no luer fitting at all — a pen needle screws onto the pen's own thread. Glossary TipBluntTip is the shape of the needle's point. A blunt tip is far less likely to stick you while mixing and drawing up, but it is still a sharp that can go through skin under force. Never for injecting.

TravelCarry-on friendlyTravel says whether it is practical to fly with: carry-on means it goes through security without fuss.
SterileYesSterile means individually sealed and sterile until opened; anything that touches the inside of a vial or your skin should be.
