BD Ultra-Fine II Insulin Syringes 0.5mL 0.25mm (31G) x 8mm – 100 Pack

BD Ultra-Fine II insulin syringes are engineered for accurate, comfortable delivery of U-100 insulin from vials. This 0.5mL (½-mL) size suits small-to-moderate doses and split dosing, while the ultra-thin 0.25mm (31-gauge) 8mm needle helps minimise insertion discomfort and supports dependable subcutaneous delivery when used with correct technique.

Each syringe is sterile, single-use, and individually wrapped. A crystal-clear barrel with bold unit markings supports precise measurement, and BD’s multi-facet bevel and micro-bonded lubrication help reduce penetration force for smoother injections. The 8mm length is a widely used “standard short” option that works across body types; your clinician can advise the best length and angle for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these syringes compatible with my insulin?
A: They are calibrated for U-100 insulin. Use only as directed by your healthcare professional.

Q: Why choose 0.5mL instead of 0.3mL or 1mL?
A: 0.5mL balances visibility and control for small-to-moderate doses (up to 50 units) without the bulk of a 1mL barrel.

Q: What do 31G and 8mm mean?
A: 31G refers to a very fine (thin) needle diameter; 8mm is the needle length, designed for subcutaneous delivery with appropriate angle/technique.

Q: Will an 8mm needle be suitable for me?
A: Many adults can inject at 90°; some may need a skinfold or different angle based on body type. Follow your clinician’s technique advice.

Q: Can I reuse the syringe to save costs?
A: No. Reuse increases infection risk, dulls the needle, and can damage tissue. Always use a new sterile syringe.

Q: Do these syringes have half-unit markings?
A: Markings vary by SKU. Many 0.5mL syringes show 1-unit increments. If you need half-unit markings, ask your pharmacist about specific models.

Q: How should I dispose of used syringes?
A: Place immediately into an approved sharps container. Follow local regulations for disposal or return programs.

Q: Are they latex-free?
A: Components that contact medication/skin are latex-free. Check the pack if you have specific material sensitivities.

Q: Do I need a prescription to purchase?
A: Requirements vary by region. Your pharmacist can advise on local regulations.

Q: Any storage tips?
A: Keep syringes dry, at room temperature, in original packaging. Do not use after the expiry date.

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL ON THE PRODUCT AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE UNLESS DIRECTED BY YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.
