## Needlestick Protection

### Activation-Assist technology
The unique BD safety mechanism activates with a smooth, controlled motion, so protecting the needle never slows the injection down.

### Single-finger activation
One finger engages the shield and keeps your hand safely behind the needle, with minimal training and little change to existing technique.

## Everyday Versatility

### 25G comfort and delivery
The 25 gauge size balances patient comfort with reliable medication delivery for subcutaneous and intramuscular injections.

### ISO Luer compatible
Compatible with standard ISO-compliant Luer syringes for easy integration, helping facilities standardize safety protocols across sites.

## Ordering Options

### Single needle
One sterile 25 gauge, 5/8 inch SafetyGlide needle in its own peel pouch. Sized for a single injection or a small restock.

### Box of 50
A retail box of the same 25 gauge, 5/8 inch SafetyGlide needle, each one individually pouched. A box of 50 is simply 50 of the single needles, for clinics and higher-volume use.

The gauge, the 5/8 inch length and the Activation-Assist safety shield are identical in both options, so only the number of needles changes. Availability of each option can vary.
