  2. Hypodermic needle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypodermic_needle

    Hypodermic needles are normally made from a stainless-steel or Niobium tube [17] through a process known as tube drawing where the tube is drawn through progressively smaller dies to make the needle. The end of the needle is bevelled to create a sharp pointed tip, letting the needle easily penetrate the skin. [18] A hypodermic needle tip under ...

    The hypodermic needle model (known as the hypodermic-syringe model, transmission-belt model, or magic bullet theory) is claimed to have been a model of communication in which media consumers were "uniformly controlled by their biologically based 'instincts' and that they react more or less uniformly to whatever 'stimuli' came along".

  4. Fear of needles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_needles

    Hypodermic needles are available in a wide variety of outer diameters described by gauge numbers. Smaller gauge numbers indicate larger outer diameters. [5] Inner diameter depends on both gauge and wall thickness. The following chart shows nominal inner diameter and wall thickness for regular-wall needles.

  8. Two-step flow of communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-step_flow_of_communication

    The idea is a kind of Hypodermic needle / magic bullet model, with the capacity of big data analytics informed mass customization. Empirical studies by other scholars, in contrast, have found that modern social media platforms, like Twitter, exhibit clear evidence of a two-step flow of communication.

  9. Winged infusion set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winged_infusion_set

    When the needle enters the vein, venous blood pressure generally forces a small amount of blood into the set's transparent tubing providing a visual sign, called the "flash" or "flashback", that lets the practitioner know that the needle is actually inside of a vein. The butterfly offers advantages over a simple straight needle. The butterfly's ...
