Description
Needles Only IM 18-25 gauge are sterile medical needles designed for intramuscular (IM) injections. These needles are used to administer various medications, including vaccines, hormones, and antibiotics, directly into the muscle tissue. The gauge size (18G-25G) determines the needle's thickness, with lower gauges representing larger diameter needles suitable for thicker medications, while higher gauges are for more viscous fluids.
The mechanism of action involves inserting the needle into the muscle to deposit the medication deep into the tissue. This allows for rapid absorption into the bloodstream compared to subcutaneous injections. The needle length ensures that the medication is injected into the muscle layer, avoiding superficial tissue layers and ensuring optimal drug efficacy.
Common side effects associated with intramuscular injections include pain, redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. Repeated injections at the same site may lead to muscle irritation or injury. It is essential to follow proper injection protocols and rotate injection sites to minimize discomfort and complications.
