Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 13mm needle used for?

▼

A 13mm needle (also known as a 0.5-inch needle) is commonly used for subcutaneous and intramuscular injections where a shorter length is needed, such as vaccines or cosmetic treatments. UKMEDI stocks sterile, single-use 13mm needles in multiple gauges for precise, comfortable application.

Can I use a 0.5-inch needle for intramuscular injections?

▼

Yes, but only for specific areas and patient types. A 13mm needle can be suitable for IM injections in smaller muscle groups or leaner patients. Always follow medical guidance for correct needle length and gauge selection.

What sizes and gauges are available for 13mm needles?

▼

At UKMEDI, our 13mm needles are available in a range of gauges and colours, including fine 27G grey and 30G yellow, to suit different applications. All feature ultra-sharp, tri-bevelled tips for smooth, low-pain insertion.

Are your 13mm needles sterile and compatible with standard syringes?

▼

Yes. All 13mm needles are individually sterile-wrapped, single-use, and compatible with standard Luer Slip and Luer Lock syringes used in medical and cosmetic settings.
