Description
Developed exclusively for harm reduction, the Total Dose needle is designed for people who inject drugs.
Why is dead space important?
A standard detachable needle, fixed to a 2 ml syringe, has approx. 90 µl of blood remaining in the dead space between the plunger and the tip of the needle.
The Total Dose needle reduces the dead space thanks to a thin plastic tube that extends down into the tip of the syringe, filling this void and preventing the accumulation of blood.
This significantly reduces the amount of any viruses that could be left in the syringe, thereby reducing the risk of virus transmission (Human Immunodeficiency Virus [HIV], Hepatitis C Virus [HCV]) due to sharing.
Available in 4 gauges and sizes:
- Short orange needle: Ø 25G – 0.50 mm x 16 mm (5/8 inch)

Instructions for use
- The needle is protected by a cap. It should be removed at the last second.
- Attach the needle to the syringe.
- Place the syringe parallel to the vein.
- Angle the needle so that the eye (bevelled edge) is facing up, at approx. 20°.
- Push down the plunger slowly, toward the heart.
Post-injection:
- Use a dry swab or compress to apply pressure to the injection site.
- Dispose of the used needle using a safe healthcare waste container. If this is not possible, place it in a closed plastic bottle and dispose of it with household waste.
To avoid vein damage, use the shortest and thinnest needle available.
Larger needles can be used if the veins have hardened, or for the injection of viscous products.
Precautions for use
Single-use – Do not reuse.
Never share a needle: risk of virus transmission (Human Immunodeficiency Virus [HIV], Hepatitis C Virus [HCV]).
