  • What is the Difference Between a Hypodermic Needle and a Regular Needle?

    Hypodermic needles are uniquely engineered for skin penetration and injection or withdrawal of fluids, with sharp, beveled tips and medical-grade stainless steel. "Regular" sewing or tattoo needles are not suitable for medical injections or sample collection.

  • What is Called Hypodermic?

    The word "hypodermic" comes from the Greek “hypo” (under) and “derma” (skin). It refers to anything administered or inserted beneath the skin—especially injections delivered through the skin using a needle.

  • Is an Insulin Needle a Hypodermic Needle?

    Yes. An insulin needle is a specific type of hypodermic needle—typically shorter and finer for subcutaneous insulin injections, providing minimal pain and optimal absorption for diabetic patients.

  • Why Do They Call it a Hypodermic Needle?

    It's called "hypodermic" because it is designed for delivering substances below the skin by piercing the epidermis and reaching subcutaneous tissues or veins.

  • Are Hypodermic Needles Legal?

    Yes, hypodermic needles are legal in most countries for medical, laboratory, and approved personal uses. Local regulations may require a prescription or restrict sales to prevent misuse.

    The modern hypodermic needle was invented in the United Kingdom in 1853 by Dr. Alexander Wood and independently by Charles Gabriel Pravaz in France.

  • Is a Hypodermic Needle The Same As a Syringe?

    No. The hypodermic needle is the sharpened metal part attached to a syringe. The syringe is the barrel and plunger used to draw and inject fluid.

    Policies vary by region. In some U.S. states and countries, a prescription is needed. In others, hypodermic needles may be sold over-the-counter for medical use.
