Mixing Needles — 18G 1.5" (10-Pack)
Large-bore mixing needles engineered for one purpose: fast, clean transfer of bacteriostatic water into lyophilized compound vials. The 18G bore draws fluid efficiently without excessive negative pressure, and the 1.5" length reaches the bottom of standard pharmaceutical vials without difficulty.
These are reconstitution tools, not injection needles. Using a dedicated mixing needle preserves the integrity of your fine-gauge insulin syringes and prevents coring of vial stoppers.

Why Use a Mixing Needle
Drawing bacteriostatic water through a 29G insulin syringe creates excessive vacuum, risks stopper coring, and dulls the needle tip before it ever touches skin. An 18G mixing needle eliminates all three problems. Draw with the mixing needle, transfer to your insulin syringe, and inject with a pristine tip. One extra step that protects both your compound and your comfort.
