Insulin Syringe 0.5 ml 31G X 6mm Needle 10 Pieces per bag

Insulin Syringe 0.5 ml — 31G x 6mm Needle | 10 Pieces per Bag Managing diabetes at home requires reliable, consistent supplies. These insulin syringes deliver accurate dosing with a fine-gauge needle designed for comfort — a combination that matters when injections are part of your daily routine. Specifications Volume: 0.5 ml (50 units) Needle gauge: 31G — thin gauge for minimal discomfort Needle length: 6mm — suitable for subcutaneous injection in most adults Quantity: 10 syringes per bag Scale: Clearly marked in 1-unit increments for precise dosing Tip: Low dead space design minimizes insulin waste Who This Syringe Is For This syringe suits people who inject 50 units or less per dose. The 0.5 ml barrel keeps the scale readable — markings are spaced further apart than on a 1 ml syringe, which reduces dosing errors for smaller amounts. The 31G needle is one of the finer gauges available for insulin injection. Thinner needles cause less tissue trauma and are generally more comfortable, particularly for people who inject multiple times per day. The 6mm length is appropriate for subcutaneous injection in most adults, including those with lower body fat, and is the length most commonly recommended by diabetes educators and physicians for standard insulin delivery. If you're new to insulin injection or recently changed syringe sizes, confirm the appropriate needle length and gauge with your physician or diabetes care team before switching. Accurate Dosing Starts with the Right Syringe Insulin dosing errors are most often linked to misreading the syringe scale. A 0.5 ml syringe marked in 1-unit increments gives you clear, unambiguous readings for doses up to 50 units. If your dose regularly falls in the 5 to 50 unit range, this barrel size is the most practical choice for accuracy. The low dead space between the needle and barrel reduces the amount of insulin left in the syringe after injection — important for people managing tight insulin regimens where every unit counts. Single Use Only These syringes are designed and manufactured for single use. Reusing insulin syringes dulls the needle tip, increases the risk of infection, and can affect dosing accuracy. Dispose of used syringes in an approved sharps container. Vancouver Coastal Health provides sharps disposal options for residents — check with your local pharmacy or health authority for the nearest drop-off location.
