Rital Stainless Steel Oral Gavage Needles are precision-engineered tools designed for safe, efficient, and repeatable oral administration of liquids in preclinical animal studies. Available in both straight-tip and curved-tip configurations, these needles cater to diverse experimental needs, ensuring minimal tissue trauma and optimal dosing accuracy in rodents and small mammals. Crafted from medical-grade stainless steel, they are ideal for pharmaceutical research, toxicology testing, and academic laboratories.
Medical-Grade 316L Stainless Steel
Corrosion-resistant, autoclavable (≤135°C), and reusable for cost-effective long-term use.
Smooth, polished surface minimizes bacterial adhesion and simplifies cleaning.
Dual Tip Designs for Versatility
Facilitates gentle insertion into the esophagus, minimizing animal stress.
Enhances control in complex procedures or restrained subjects.
Ideal for routine dosing and novice users.
Blunt, rounded tip reduces esophageal injury risk.
Straight-Tip Needle:
Curved-Tip Needle (25° Angle):
Precision Calibration & Compatibility
Available in 16G, 18G, 20G, 22G with standardized length markings (25mm, 38mm, 50mm ±0.5mm).
Compatible with standard Luer Lock or Slip Tip syringes.
Sterility & Safety Assurance
Individually packaged in sterile, double-sealed blister packs (Gamma-irradiated, EO-free).
Non-pyrogenic and RNase/DNase-free for sensitive applications.
