A medical needle for withdrawal of blood from a patient or for insertion in medicinal containers in which the end of a needle extending from the body of a syringe is provided with one or more marks at its end region to indicate the depth of penetration of the needle below the skin surface of a patient in a given site so that the depth of penetration can be indicated as well as the degree of withdrawal of the needle in such instances as when the needle is required to be partially pulled out maneuvered below the skin to seek an artery for withdrawal of blood. In addition, the end of the needle is provided with coloring and a marking such that it is more visible than the bare stainless steel needles of conventional type thereby assisting in prevention of accidental needle sticks in either the technician or the patient.
