Ideal D3X™ 14‑gauge needles are patent‑pending, dual‑detection needles engineered for maximum safety and performance. Crafted from a specially formulated detectable metal alloy and featuring a high‑visibility, easy‑grip extraction collar, they’re up to six times more detectable than standard stainless steel needles—ensuring fragments are caught at line speed by X‑ray or magnetic inspection.

The bonded extraction collar prevents broken needles from submerging into the animal’s tissue and allows for immediate removal the moment a break occurs. Embossed with a prominent “X” and visible in any lighting, the collar provides clear, unmistakable identification.

Thick‑walled cannulas are crimped into robust aluminum hubs to increase load strength and reduce bending or breaking more than six‑fold compared to conventional needles. Ultra‑sharp, tri‑beveled tips penetrate smoothly with minimal tissue trauma—extending needle life, reducing abscess risk, and minimizing animal stress.

For convenience and safety during transport, D3X needles come in tamper‑evident, ISO‑color–coded red cartridges (100 per box) for quick gauge and length recognition.
