The 21G x 1 1/2 inch needle is a middle-of-the-range size: wider than 23G, finer than 19G, and at 40 mm long it is the longer of the two needle sizes listed with a length. Clinicians commonly reach for this size for general injections and for withdrawing blood or other fluids, pairing it with 5 ml, 10 ml or 20 ml syringes. As always, gauge and length are chosen by the treating professional for each patient and procedure.
The coloured base is a practical safety feature on a busy trolley: staff can confirm the size at a glance without reading the small print on the pack. In nursing and phlebotomy training, the 21G needle is widely used to demonstrate attaching a needle, removing the cap safely and disposing of sharps. Institutions that order from a lab consumables supplier in India usually keep it in stock beside the 19G and 23G sizes.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, operating as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, supplies the 21G disposable needle to hospitals, health programmes, colleges and distributors. It can be quoted together with syringes, tourniquets and sharps containers so that a complete injection or sampling kit comes from one source. See the ScienceLab profile page for company details.
