Gentle Sub-Q Delivery — 23G Short for Patient Comfort

The Terumo Hypodermic Needle 23G x 5/8" offers superior performance with its blue ISO color-coded hub and precision engineering. This 23-gauge (0.6 mm) needle with 16 mm (5/8") length features a sharp point and silicone coating for enhanced patient comfort in subcutaneous and intradermal applications.
