20 Gauge Hypodermic Needle**
A 20 gauge hypodermic needle is a medical device used for introducing medications into the body, typically through the skin. The gauge of a hypodermic needle refers to the size of the needle's internal diameter, with lower numbers indicating thicker walls and larger diameters, which can accommodate larger volumes of fluid. A lower gauge also means that the needle is less sharp, making it safer for general use due to reduced risk of injury.
