Discover the proper technique, sites, and tools for intradermal injections, plus when and why they're used.
Intradermal injection (also intracutaneous or intradermic, abbreviated as ID) is a shallow or superficial injection of a substance into the dermis, which is located between the epidermis and the hypodermis.
Intradermal injections are administered using a tuberculin syringe (Figure 12.29). Tuberculin syringes are calibrated in tenths and hundredths of a millimeter, allowing for precise measurement. Depending on the manufacturer, this type of syringe may include a 26G or 27G needle that is 0.25 to 0.5 in (6.4 to 13 mm) in length.
7.3 Intradermal and Subcutaneous Injections Intradermal injections (ID) are injections administered into the dermis, just below the epidermis. The ID injection route has the longest absorption time of all parenteral routes. These types of injections are used for sensitivity tests, such as TB (see Figure 7.13), allergy, and local anesthesia tests. The advantage of these tests is that the body ...

The intradermal injection has a mostly local and little systemic impact. In addition to being used for local anesthetics and allergy testing, it is frequently utilized for tuberculin skin testing.
