Consistent IM Depth, Every Time — 21G x 1.5”

The Terumo Hypodermic Needle 21G x 1.5” delivers reliable intramuscular performance with its 21-gauge (0.8 mm) diameter and extended 38 mm (1.5”) length. The green ISO colour-coded hub ensures instant gauge identification, while the precision-engineered tip and silicone coating provide smooth, controlled delivery.

Built with Terumo’s thin-walled technology, this needle is the go-to choice for standard IM injections requiring consistent depth. The semi-transparent hub provides clear flashback visibility, and the short bevel minimises tissue trauma on insertion.

FAQs

Why is 21G x 1.5” the standard IM needle size?

The 1.5” length reliably reaches muscle tissue in most adult patients, making it the most widely used IM gauge-length combination in clinical practice.

Is 21G suitable for vaccine administration?

Yes — 21G x 1.5” is commonly recommended for deltoid and gluteal IM vaccine delivery in adults.

Does the green hub confirm ISO 6009 compliance?

Yes — green is the internationally standardised colour code for 21G needles.

How does the thin-wall design benefit IM injections?

It maintains a larger internal bore, reducing the force needed to deliver medication smoothly and comfortably.

Is it compatible with all standard syringes?

Yes — fits all Luer Lock and Luer Slip syringes.
