Rodent Feeding Needles

Choose from four listed feeding-needle sizes

This rodent feeding-needle family provides 12#, 16#, 18#, and 20# options in one selector. The labels are preserved exactly as listed, so a familiar size can be requested without converting it into an unsupported gauge, diameter, or length. That distinction matters because a size label alone does not establish whether the needle is appropriate for a particular animal or technique.

Use the selector as the first step for rodent oral feeding or gavage planning. Final selection depends on the animal, the approved protocol, outside diameter, working length, tip geometry, curvature, and the position the operator needs during administration. These details affect procedural access and handling, so they should be reviewed together rather than selected from the size label alone.

For a new protocol, document the intended route, animal group, procedural position, planned frequency, and operator training before requesting a configuration. For repeat ordering, provide the current size label and any available dimensional or packaging information. This gives ConductScience a clearer basis for matching the request without inventing a gauge relationship that is not present in the product record.

Feeding needles should be handled as procedural instruments within the facility's approved workflow. Personnel should follow institutional training, inspection, cleaning or disposal, and animal-monitoring requirements. Before each use, the facility should confirm that the selected configuration is in suitable condition and matches the current protocol rather than assuming that a previously used size is interchangeable across animals or studies. Record the accepted configuration so future requests can be compared against the same procedural reference.

Select 12#, 16#, 18#, or 20#, then share the remaining requirements during quote review. ConductScience will confirm the complete dimensional configuration, tip and curvature needs, pack quantity, and order details before acceptance. The quote is therefore the final configuration check, not a substitute for protocol approval or trained procedural judgment.
