Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these calibrated for U-100 insulin?
A: Yes. The 0.5 mL barrel is U-100 calibrated. Use only with U-100 insulin unless your clinician instructs otherwise.

Q: Why choose a 6 mm needle?
A: Short needles help promote subcutaneous delivery and may reduce pain and intramuscular risk when used correctly. Your clinician will advise the best length for you.

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

Q: What injection angle should I use?
A: Many adults use 90° with a 6 mm needle, with or without a skinfold depending on body type and clinical advice. Follow the technique taught by your healthcare professional.

Q: How do I dispose of used syringes?
A: Place immediately into an approved sharps container. Follow local regulations for return or disposal programs—never throw loose sharps in household waste.

Q: Can I draw medication from a vial with these?
A: Yes—these are traditional vial-and-syringe devices. Use aseptic technique, expel air bubbles carefully, and confirm the correct dose before injecting.

Q: Are they latex-free?
A: Yes. Patient-contacting components are latex-free.

Q: What if insulin leaks after I withdraw the needle?
A: Maintain the needle in the skin for the recommended count after depressing the plunger fully, rotate injection sites, and avoid injecting into lipohypertrophy. Review your technique with your clinician if leakage persists.

Q: Storage?
A: Keep syringes in the original packaging, dry, at room temperature, and do not use past expiry.

Q: Do these have half-unit markings?
A: Markings vary by model. This 0.5 mL syringe features clear graduations; if you specifically need 0.5-unit markings, ask your pharmacist to confirm the exact variant.
