Five beveled point geometry for a hypodermic needle

A needle having a multi-beveled point, comprising:

• a cannula having a lumen and a central axis therethrough, said multi-beveled point provided at one end of the cannula, said multi-beveled point comprised of a primary bevel, a pair of tip bevels, and a pair of middle bevels, each of said pair of middle bevels intermediate said primary bevel and one of said pair of tip bevels, wherein each of said pair of tip bevels meets a respective middle bevel at an intersection line, wherein respective of angles defined between said central axis and a reference plane, said primary bevel is provided on said cannula at a first planar angle, said pair of middle bevels are provided on said cannula at a second planar angle, and said pair of tip bevels are provided on said cannula at a third planar angle, and wherein respective of an angle of rotation about said central axis, said primary bevel is provided at a first rotational angle, said pair of middle bevels are each provided at a second rotational angle, and said pair of tip bevels are each provided at a third rotational angle, wherein said first and second planar angles are substantially equal.
