Frequently asked questions
What gauge needle is used for blood collection?
21G is a widely used gauge for routine blood collection, particularly where higher flow rates are needed or for patients with larger veins.
It is a standard choice in hospitals, GP surgeries, and diagnostic labs for efficient, reliable draws.
Are these needles suitable for NHS use?
Yes. Senmed 21G blood collection needles are CE marked and EO gas sterilised, meeting the compliance requirements for use in NHS and regulated private clinical settings.
How many needles are in a box?
Each box contains 100 individually packed, sterile, single-use 21G blood collection needles.
What is the difference between a 21G and 23G blood collection needle?
A 21G needle has a wider bore than a 23G, allowing faster blood flow and making it better suited for high-volume draws or patients with larger veins.
A 23G is finer and better suited for patients with smaller or more fragile veins.
Both are standard choices for routine venepuncture depending on patient need.
