What Is a 24 Gauge IV Needle?
Needles are typically measured using the “gauge” system, in which the gauge or G of a needle tells us how wide the needle actually is. Common measurements for IV needles include 16, 18 and 20 gauge needles, but it’s also possible to use 24 gauge IV needles, too.
24 gauge IV needles are some of the smallest and narrowest IV needles available. Due to their small size, they’re most commonly used for pediatric patients who have smaller bodies and veins, although they can be used in some rare cases with adult patients, too.
Like other IV needles, 24 gauge IV needles are designed to puncture the skin and provide venous access so that an IV line can feed fluids, such as nutrient solutions or liquid medications, directly into the body. They’re useful in many situations and can help patients suffering from injuries or illnesses, as well as patients who are undergoing operations.

When to Use a 24 Gauge IV Needle?
A 24 gauge IV needle is most commonly used in cases when pediatric (child) patients require infusion therapy. These needles are very small and narrow, so are best-suited in the small and narrow veins of children. They’re useful for delivering fluids into a child’s body if the child is dehydrated, for example, or undergoing surgery. They're also useful in cases when a child has suffered serious trauma and requires a constant stream of fluids into the body.
24G IV Needle Sizes
The main distinguishing feature of a 24 gauge IV needle is its size. These needles are always precisely measured at 24 gauge in terms of their diameter, so there aren’t any other sizes of 24 G IV needles to choose from. However, there are many other IV needle sizes, from 16 and 18 G to 26 and 28 G.
24G IV Needle Types
There are various different brands and manufacturers of 24 gauge IV needles, but these needles are all very similar in terms of their shape and design. They can have some slight variations in terms of their color or the attachments connected to each needle, but most are more or less identical.
24G IV Needle Uses
24 gauge IV needles have a range of different uses in the world of IV treatment and infusion therapy. Smaller than the likes of 18 and 20 G needles, these needles are most commonly used for pediatric patients, including children and infants, due to the very narrow size of the needle. They’re almost never used for adult patients, except in extreme cases or for adults who have very small veins. They’re helpful for delivering various fluids into the body, including medications and nutrient solutions.
