Medication transfer needle, non-filtering/non-vented

A medication transfer needle, non-filtering/non-vented is a slender, rigid metal tube designed to attach to a syringe for drawing and transferring liquid medication from vials or ampules to other containers during pharmacy compounding or preparation. It is engineered to penetrate vial stoppers efficiently and extract the full dose, with a gauge typically around 20 to ensure high flow and minimal coring, and it lacks any filtering or venting mechanisms.

This category refers exclusively to single-use devices intended for aseptic transfer of medications in healthcare settings. As such, these devices are regulated as medical devices and are supplied sterile for immediate use, with regulatory requirements focused on their single-use nature, material safety, and performance in fluid transfer without added features like filters or vents.
