For hand procedures, a commonly used needle is the 25-gauge needle, which is fine enough to minimize discomfort while still allowing for effective injections or aspirating fluids. In some cases, a 27-gauge needle may also be used for more delicate tasks, like administering local anesthesia. The choice of needle gauge can depend on the specific procedure and the patient's needs.
