What type of bevel is associated with intravenous needles?

The long bevel is specifically designed for intravenous needles to facilitate easier insertion into the vein. The angle and length of the bevel allow for a sharper point, which aids in penetrating the skin and the vein with minimal trauma. This design helps in creating a clean entry point, thus reducing discomfort for the patient and minimizing the likelihood of complications such as bruising. Furthermore, a longer bevel can enhance the alignment with the vein, which is crucial for successful cannulation and stable IV access. The structure of the long bevel also helps in reducing the risk of the needle tipping during insertion, improving accuracy and efficacy during the procedure.
