When choosing 13mm needles, also referred to as 0.5 inch needles, length is only part of the equation. At UKMEDI, you’ll find a range of gauge sizes that enable clinicians to match flow rate and patient comfort to each specific task. This includes options like 27g grey, 26g brown, 30g yellow, and even finer gauges like 29g peach. Many of our 13mm needles come pre-attached to 0.3ml, 0.5ml, and 1ml syringes for ease of use in high-precision settings, including aesthetics and immunisation clinics.

For additional flexibility, Luer Slip options are available, supporting safe attachment and reliable delivery. Whether you’re sourcing from BD, Terumo, BBRaun, or Unisharp, the selection spans both high-volume brands and specialist lines such as Agriject and Sol-M. This variety ensures compatibility with a wide range of clinical applications, from subcutaneous injections to low-volume draws.

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.
