We use 20 g Hubers almost exclusively for adults the length based on the
patient, occassionally we use a 19. I have done home care/hospice and
home infusion for a long time.

When I worked in Home Health and used 22g Huebers I found them to be
very flimsy always had the fear they could break off--Much prefer the
stability I feel with a 20g 3/4in--Our one inch access needles are 19g
