Type “U” Darts

---

Type “U” Disposable Darts (6 cc – 10 cc)

Pneu-Dart Type ‘U’ disposable darts are .50 calibre and are designed to provide precise drug delivery in a convenient, inexpensive projectile. These darts are appropriate for use on small or large animals. Colour-coded in yellow with Flight Stabilizer, Type ‘U’ darts are used with our cartridge-fired and CO2 air projectors.

Aluminum Dart Bodies (2 cc – 10 cc)

Made out of aluminium tubing, our darts are designed to ensure optimum performance under any condition.

How They Work

Type ‘C’, ‘P’, and ‘U’ darts contain a small explosive charge which detonates on impact and quickly injects the drug. Darts equal to or less than 1 cc do not require retention (wire barb or gelatin collar) due to the rate of injection. As a consequence of the dart mechanics, the dart will “flash” when activated, a real asset in low-light conditions.

All darts currently produced will require a 19 gauge hypodermic fill needle. With each dart order placed, a FREE complimentary 19 gauge fill needle will be included in your shipment.

Cannula Lengths

Darts are available with a 14-gauge cannula in lengths of 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″, 1 1/4″, 1 1/2″ and 2″. Darts 1.5 cc through 10 cc are equipped with a gelatin collar but can be ordered with a wire barb. 3/8″ cannula are available in plain only. 1/2″ cannula is available in gelatin collars only. We do not recommend wire barbs or gelatin collars on 1/2 cc or 1 cc darts; however, they are available at an additional cost. Gelatin collars comprise of an inert material retaining the dart in place until the injection is made, and after several minutes will liquefy, allowing the dart to fall freely from the animal.

The chart listed below is a general guide for cannula lengths when administering intramuscular injections. Thirteen gauge cannula in specific lengths is also available. When ordering, please specify type of dart and cannula length. Not sure what will work best for you? Call our helpful Customer Care Providers at 866-299-DART (3278).

Green and Red Gelatin Collars

Gelatin Collars are uniquely designed to hold the dart into the hide of the animal to ensure a complete drug delivery. Within a limited amount of time (approx 15 – 20 minutes) the thermal heat from the animal will eventually dissolve the Gelatin Collar, thus allowing the dart to freely fall to the ground. Designed to assist in easy identification we have elected to use two colours for our Gelatin Collars. The traditional Green colour is now used on all end-port discharge cannulas. The Red Gelatin Collars are now assigned to our Tri-Port (end and side port) discharge cannulas. Although different in colour our gelatin collars function equally as reliable as they have in the past.

Wire Barbs

Designed to ensure that the dart stays within the animal after they have been darted, the wire barbs lodge themselves into the hide of the animal. To remove, carefully make a small incision to extract the dart from the animal.

Dart Care

• Do not shake or drop darts as they could detonate.
• Do not leave darts in hot places. (e.g., dashboards of vehicles that sit in the sun).
• Be careful when filling the dart and always hold the cannula away from your face.
• Unfired darts should be handled with care and stored in an appropriate container.
• Fired darts should be recovered when possible and disposed of in a safe manner.
• Eye protection should be used at all times.
• Darts are not designed to be refrigerated. Bring darts to room temperature before using.
