Comparing Needle Sizes: How Big is an Epidural Needle?

Proper Medical Needle Usage: A Comprehensive Guide

Doctors choose different needle sizes and lengths depending on what they need to do. Some shots need to go just under the skin, so a shorter needle is used. Others need to go deeper into the muscle, so they use a longer needle. They also consider the patient’s body size to make sure the needle reaches the right spot without causing unnecessary pain or injury. #painmanagement #doctor #needle #medicalstudent
