Syringe and needle size chart

Barrel capacity, needle gauge, needle length and tip type together identify a syringe-and-needle catalogue number. The table below carries 163 of them from BD, Terumo, Nipro and EXELINT, each attribute taken from the field its manufacturer publishes it in.

BD Luer-Lok syringe with needle combinations

All BD rows are luer lock (LL in BD's description). GUDID structured deviceSize fields provide the size data for 27 rows. BD's description string supplies 5 rows: 309574–309579. Package: 100 per pack/inner pack; 8 per case at 1 mL and 3 mL, 4 per case at 5 mL and 10 mL. RB = regular bevel; TW appears on some rows unexplained. BLUNT FILL marks three 18 G × 1½″ rows.

How to identify the right syringe and needle combination

Four independent fields define a supplied syringe–needle combination: barrel capacity, needle gauge, needle length, and tip (hub) type. No single source publishes all four for every catalogue number. BD's structured GUDID fields hold the size measurements. Its description string holds tip type as LL. Terumo puts the three numbers in structured fields and tip type only in its printed catalogue section heading (“Style: Luer Lock Tip”). Exelint publishes everything in prose on its product pages and in GUDID deviceDescription, plus hub colour — the only source that does. Nipro publishes the same codes twice in GUDID: once with structured sizes (-WEI suffix) and once almost empty. Cardinal Health’s Monoject records publish the gauge as unstructured size text — Needle Gauge,22,Gauge; — rather than in the structured gauge field, so it is invisible to anyone reading that field across labelers.

Because the fields live in different places, cross-manufacturer suffix patterns are unreliable. Nipro’s 2609 = 26 G × ⅝″; Terumo’s 2609 = 26 G × ⅜″. Exelint’s own website leaves 26105’s description cell blank rather than expanding its own code. Never decode a catalogue number; read the specification from the field the labeler actually filled.

Before ordering, verify the catalogue number against the required specification. Check the tip type against the protocol it is being bought for. Luer lock and luer slip are different. A permanently attached needle is another type. Confirm the package quantity. Check pack and case multipliers; they differ by capacity, not gauge. For gauge conversion and the reason gauge numbers run backwards, see the needle gauge chart and needle gauges explained. For how luer lock differs from luer slip, see the luer lock vs. luer slip.

Where to buy

Two verified Amazon Business listings (both require healthcare license):

EXEL Syringe, 3cc 25Gx5/8 100/BX — matches Exel 26100 (3 mL, 25 G × ⅝″). Tip type not stated in listing; 26100 is luer lock, 26602 is luer slip at same specification.
Exel 3mL Luer Lock Syringe, 25G X 1 1/2, 100/Box, 26112 — matches Exel 26112 (3 mL luer lock, 25 G × 1½″). Listing title claims “510k Cleared K861153” and “Regular Wall Needle”; Exel’s GUDID records carry no premarket submission number and no wall class is published in this packet — treat as listing claims, not Exel specifications.

No other ASINs were verified. Distributor sites list Terumo and Nipro combinations. They also list Cardinal combinations. The sites include McKesson, Henry Schein, Medline, CIA Medical and Med‑Vet but were not retrieved and are not cited.
