Abstract
Two types of disposable injection needles were tested clinically for pain of insertion, and penetration resistance. The 30-gauge needle required significantly less force (69 mN) than the 27-gauge needle (139 mN). The difference in pain perception was less remarkable. The author advises that a 30-gauge needle be used in any infiltration injection.Entities:
