19g or 21g Power Port Needles
Hello,
I wanted to reach out to see if any organizations use 19g or 21g power port needles. Our supply chain department is running into issues with obtaining 20g 3/4inch power port needles due to shortages (which I am sure all of you are all too familiar with). Traditionally we have used the 20g Huber needle but wanted to see if anyone has experience with other gauges and if you had success or experiences issues. Thank you in advance for your response!——————————
