BD Microlance™ 3 · 18 G × 40 mm
Large lumen for efficient aspiration – sterile single-use needle for professional use
The BD Microlance™ 3 in 18 G is a thin-wall, sterile single-use needle with a length of 40 mm and a pink colour-coded hub. The 18G version is frequently chosen in clinical practice for drawing up or aspirating medical fluids because its comparatively large lumen supports good flow. According to the manufacturer, Microlance™ 3 is intended for the injection and/or aspiration of medical fluids.

Practical benefit
Why the 18G version is convenient for drawing up fluids
When aspirating from ampoules, vials or other suitable containers, a sufficiently large lumen is important. The thin-wall design of Microlance™ 3 provides more usable internal cross-section than a thick-wall needle with the same outer diameter. This supports a higher flow rate and can reduce unnecessary force on the syringe plunger.
At the same time, it remains a regular hypodermic Microlance™ 3 needle. It should therefore not be confused with a blunt Blunt Fill needle designed solely for drawing up fluids.
