message: I had a quick go at trying to find a nice sizing chart. But it's difficult because of the different standards.
here's this, it's pretty wrong i think, the site the data comes from wasn't a manufacturer or anything. In other places the numbers aren't that 'round'.
 27G 0.40 mm
 26G 0.45 mm
 25G 0.50 mm
 24G 0.55 mm
 23G 0.60 mm
 22G 0.70 mm
 21G 0.80 mm
 20G 0.90 mm
 19G 1.10 mm
 18G 1.20 mm
here are some other sites i'll bookmark with tables or lists of conversions.
* This has the colour codes people i kknow have used.
* These people sell needles, surely they'd know
* Spinal needles
* Specifications
* This has a colour chart, no mm diameters though
* French catheter chart
* Another one, but a pdf so you can use in
* Info on wire, and wire sizes. See wire.
* lots of custom needles

message: As an editor on the hypnosis entry, it is important to understand when the hypodermic needle was invented and perhaps the implications. Would someone be willing to write something about the history? Thanks!  DrMattGomes 03:59, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  History? 

message: This statement is quite questionable. Trypanophobia is a fear of Injections, yet it states it as being a fear of needles. Needs to be changed I think. 82.21.53.146 16:39, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  It is estimated that about 10% of the adult population may have a phobia of needles (Trypanophobia),  

message: The Phobia section (as seen on the time stamp at the end of this post) is very good. It is short, to the point (hehe), concise and reflects everything my mother has told me in her experience as a nurse in a state hospital. Good work guys! JayKeaton (talk) 15:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Phobia section

message: Does anyone know if all injections meant for the bloodstream go there directly, or if not, what happens "in between"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.227.76.232 (talk) 06:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If the needle enters a large vein, then yes, whatever's in the needle is immediately introduced into the bloodstream (typical with IV drips). Some inoculations are injected instead into muscle tissue (usually the upper-arm area), which tends to cause soreness.  --King Öomie 13:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Any information on hypodermic needle attacks?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.192.79 (talk) 10:24, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Attacks

message: The information about patient injected epinephrine/diphenhydramine (Benedryl), etc, possibly making a trip to the ER unneeded is bad medical advice. I know Wikipedia is not a place for medical advice, but it's not great advice to give out. I don't know international medical law, but I do know how it works in the US and we are absolutely not supposed to recommend that a patient use one of these self-injectables for allergies or severe asthma, etc. in order to make it unnecessary to go to the hospital. These substances are designed in order to make it possible for a patient to be able to make it to the hospital. They are supposed to give themselves the injection and immediately proceed to the hospital. I am deleting the corresponding statement. 66.92.185.212 (talk) 21:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Emergency Room

message: I don't know what its actually called but I remember some method of delivering medicines or vaccinations using forced air so that the apparatus itself doesn't actually penetrate the skin. I figured hyperdermic needle would take me there instead of the exact fucking opposite 74.250.177.86 (talk) 03:44, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Just thinking that since the phobia is listed, why not the philia? In all equalness, of course.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.25.37 (talk) 00:50, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I would appreciate it if a medical practitioner could offer a short list of the types/gauges of needle that are used for specific purposes, e.g., antibiotics vs. steroids.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:61FE:D01F:92B3:2833 (talk) 19:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
