Dart Needles
A darting needle is the delivery tip of a dart syringe, responsible for injecting medication into an animal upon impact. These needles are specially designed for remote drug administration in wildlife conservation, zoo veterinary care, and livestock management.
Components of a Darting Needle:
A darting needle typically consists of:
- Needle Shaft – A hollow, stainless-steel tube that penetrates the animal’s skin and muscle.
- Collar or Hub – Connects the needle to the darting syringe or barrel.
- Injection Ports – Small side holes near the tip, allowing drug release into the muscle.
- Retaining Barbs (Optional) – Small projections that help the needle stay in place during injection.
- Protective Sleeves (Optional) – Some designs include a rubber or plastic sleeve that retracts upon impact, reducing tissue damage.
