Product Information

Thinner gauge needles may also be less painful, so if you need daily injections, this is something for you to consider and discuss with your doctor. So, if you need to measure 2.3 milliliters (0.08 fl oz), draw the liquid to the third line above the 2 line. If you need to measure 2.7 milliliters (0.09 fl oz), that will be the second line above the 2.5 mL mark. Insulin can be given in different ways: syringe, pen, pump. Your doctor will help you decide which type is best for you depending on your insulin dose, comfort level, and cost factors. Tip: If you hear someone say give “10 cc” of this medication, cc is the same as mL. Therefore, 10 mL equals 10 cc. Reading a 10 mL Syringe

You may need multiple syringes if you give different doses per day. For example, 35 units in the morning and 10 units at night means you need a 0.3-mL syringe and a 0.5-mL syringe for each dose. General-purpose syringes comprise a barrel, a plunger, and a terminal fitting for needles or other attachments. Two-part syringes have an integral barrel and terminal fitting, with a separate plunger. Three-part syringes have a plunger fitted with a separate rubber piston at the end. Plastic general-purpose syringes are made from polypropylene or polyethylene and are often single-use and disposable. Syringes with glass barrels frequently have metal plungers and terminal fittings, so tend to offer better overall chemical resistance and durability. Insulin is given as a subcutaneous injection — or just under the skin — so the needle doesn’t go into muscle, which could affect your blood sugar levels.Always dispose of used needles properly. Don’t dispose of needles in the regular trash. Visit SafeNeedleDisposal.org to learn more. In type 1 diabetes, the body can’t make its own insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. In type 2 diabetes, the body can’t use insulin efficiently or make enough. Some syringes, such as those used to measure insulin, are marked in numbers of "units" rather than milliliters. Catalogue number 301028 is not CE marked but produced under the same conditions as the CE mark, such as the same certified quality management system, the same raw materials, manufacturing instructions and in-process and final inspection as the CE marked equivalent. The correct size depends on your insulin dose and your comfort level with the needle size. It’s important to choose the correct size to give yourself the full dose of insulin in one shot and to avoid errors in dosing from using the wrong syringe.

Nagai Y, et al. (2013). Comparison between shorter straight and thinner microtapered insulin injection needles. Measure in between the hash marks, if necessary. Sometimes you will be asked to measure an amount that is not exactly marked by the hash lines on your syringe. To do this, you'll have to count between the lines. [4] X Research source Read a syringe marked in consecutive increments. For instance, your syringe may be marked with a number at every successive mL. In between you'll see a mid-sized line that marks half mL units, like 0.5 milliliters (0.02 fl oz), 1.5 mL, 2.5 mL, and so on. The 4 smaller lines between every half mL and mL line each mark 0.1 mL. [3] X Research sourceFor instance, say you have been asked to measure 3.3 milliliters (0.1 fl oz) of a medication, but your syringe Is marked in hash marks of 0.2 milliliters (0.007 fl oz) increments. mL syringes, are designed for short term use in syringe pumps (active IIa devices) for the administration of pharmaceuticals There are also options other than syringes available depending on your dose, comfort, and cost factors.
