Luer Tips

Needle wire gauge information from Wikipedia

Unfortunately, color code information gathered from various sources. Listed colors are (we think) the most common.

Note that the gauge size is sometimes identified with "g" or "G", and sometimes with "#".

Note: Color is for plastic luer tips, and may not be standard for all manufacturers.
