26 Gauge Needles / 26g Needles
As you move up the Birmingham scale of needle gauges, the 26g needle is a slim yet versatile option for intravenous injections, vaccinations and subcutaneous injections. Physicians use long 26 gauge needles for spinal injections.
When Do You Use a 26 Gauge Needle?
This needle gauge is suitable for many purposes in a medical setting. For example, it is an appropriate size for vaccinations. Longer 26g needles can reach the right spot for a spinal pain blocker. It is also a good option for intravenous and intramuscular injections.

How Do They Assign the Gauge?
The world of medicine adopted the 17th-century Birmingham wire scale for sizing needles, catheters, cannulas and wire sutures. Each hollow hypodermic needle has an inner and outer dimension as well as a wall thickness measurement. These numbers correspond to a gauge size. Larger gauges have smaller numbers while smaller needles have higher gauge sizes.
26 gauge needles have the following dimensions:
- Outer diameter: 0.01825 in. (variation 0.00025) or 0.4636 mm (variation 0.0064 mm)
- Inner diameter: 0.01025 in. (variation 0.00075 in) or 0.260 mm (variation 0.019 mm)
- Wall thickness: 0.00400 in. (variation 0.00025 in.) or 0.1016 mm (variation 0.0064 mm)
- Common lengths: 5/8 in. up to 8 in. for spinal injections
The ISO6009 color coding system designates brown as the color code for 26 gauge needles. The Luer lock, a plastic collar that connects the needle to the syringe, bears this visual gauge code.
