Hypodermic needles designed for subcutaneous injection from a penlike cartridge syringe. These devices typically consist of a small, very fine caliber needle (10 to 12 mm [5 inches] long), appropriate for injecting solutions and drugs under the skin. Subcutaneous hypodermic injection needles are intended mainly to be used with penlike syringes to inject insulin and/or other drugs (e.g., gonadotropin) from a prefilled disposable cartridge syringe (usually from 1 to 3 mL capacity) and/or several types of injectors.
