Stainless Steel Oral Gavage Needles

Product Overview

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.



Key Features



  1. 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.

  2. 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):

  3. 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.

  4. Sterility & Safety Assurance

    • Individually packaged in sterile, double-sealed blister packs (Gamma-irradiated, EO-free).

    • Non-pyrogenic and RNase/DNase-free for sensitive applications.
