ABOUT
Needles are used for injection in many medical procedures. 
They come in different colors to help doctors and nurses 
identify what kind of injection you need to administer. The 
new color-coding system gives the patients a sense of control 
over their medical care and safety. It also helps doctors and 
nurses to monitor the progress of their treatments.
Injection needles come in different colors, often used to 
indicate the type of injection. You can check color-coding by 
using various tools and methods. Needles for injection are 
not just used in hospitals but also in other settings such as 
clinics and private practices. Color coding's sole purpose is to 
protect health workers from injury and infection.

IN THE CASE OF NEEDLE COLOR CODING, 
THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS THAT YOU CAN USE 
TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT JAB 
FOR YOUR INJECTION:
• A COLOR-CODED CHART WITH ALL THE 
DIFFERENT TYPES OF INJECTIONS;
• THE COLOR CODE ON THE PACKAGE; 
• THE COLOR CODE ON A STICKER ATTACHED 
TO IT; OR 
• A COLORED BAND AROUND IT.
THE COLOR-CODING SYSTEM IS THE LATEST 
TREND IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. YOU 
CANNOT INJECT USING ANY COLOR. 
MOREOVER, NEEDLE COLOR CODING IS A WAY 
OF INJECTING DRUGS WITH COLORED MEDICAL 
SYRINGES TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR 
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND PATIENTS TO 
TRACK AND IDENTIFY DRUG DOSES.
Talking about injecting jab, they consist of plastic or metal, with various lengths and diameters depending on 
the drug administered. The needle length determines how deep the needle goes into a person's body. Besides 
this, the color-coding of the needle hub indicates the jab diameter according to ISO 6009 standard. However, 
you can also use needle hub color coding to identify the outside diameter of the hypodermic jabs.
Main types of medical needles
Healthcare professionals basically use three main medical jabs samples, sutures, and injections. There are 
two main injection routes: hypodermic and intravenous.
 Hypodermic needles for injection: 
These needles allow the administration of a drug in injectable form into the patient's subcutaneous 
cellular tissue. This vaccine can be performed in hospitals, clinics, care centers, or homes. The needles 
are used with a ready-to-inject 10ml syringe. Special devices, called booster pens, allow you to easily and 
accurately adjust the dose injected. In this case, the medication comes in pre-filled cartridges, preventing 
taking the dose from a bottle. It is a must to dispose of the jab after every use. We commonly use 
hypodermic needles for insulin injections or certain anticoagulants.
COLOR AND USES
The color of the medical needle is a very important factor in the proper vaccine. 
Knowing the color of a given medical jab before injecting it is important. Medical 
jab come in different colors depending on their use and type. The most common 
colors are green, red, blue, and yellow. They are used for medical procedures 
like blood transfusion, cardiac arrest, and injection.
The color of the needle affects how much medication is injected into a patient's 
body and helps them avoid any accidental injury from an injection. Medical 
needles are color-coded to help patients and health workers identify the type of 
hypodermic they use.
