INTRADERMAL NEEDLE

摘要

An intradermal needle assembly that is attachable to a prefillable container intended for intradermally injecting substances into an animal includes a needle cannula supported by a hub portion. The hub portion is adapted to receive the prefillable container just prior to administering the intraderma l injection. A limiter portion surrounds the needle cannula and extends away from the hub portion toward a forward tip of the needle cannula, and include s skin engaging surface with the needle cannula having a fixed angle of orientation, preferably generally perpendicular, relative to the plane of th e skin engaging surface. The skin engaging surface is received against he skin of an animal to administer an intradermal injection. The forward tip extends beyond the skin engaging surface a distance enabling penetration of the need le cannula into the dermis layer of the skin of the animal enabling injection o f the substance into the dermis layer.
