BD Eclipse™ Safety Hypodermic Needle — 18G, 1½ Inch, Thin Wall | BD 305766

The BD Eclipse™ Safety Hypodermic Needle features a pivoting hinged shielding mechanism that allows single-handed, post-injection needle shielding without removing the needle from the patient. Designed for use with BD Luer-Lok™ syringes, the Eclipse needle provides a reliable passive-style safety solution that helps reduce the risk of needlestick injury in clinical settings where injection volume is high.

The 18 gauge thin wall construction is well-suited for medication administration, aspirations, and procedures requiring a larger bore needle with maintained flow efficiency. The pink polypropylene Luer hub provides clear gauge identification at a glance, supporting accurate needle selection in fast-paced clinical environments.
