BD Ultra-Fine Insulin Syringes 1mL 0.25mm (31G) x 6mm – 100 Pack
BD Ultra-Fine insulin syringes are designed for accurate, comfortable delivery of U-100 insulin drawn from vials. This 1mL syringe (up to 100 units) features an ultra-thin 0.25mm (31-gauge) 6mm short needle engineered to minimise injection discomfort and help achieve consistent subcutaneous dosing across a wide range of body types.
Each syringe is sterile, single-use, and individually wrapped. A clear barrel with bold, easy-read unit markings supports precise measurement, while BD’s multi-facet needle bevel and micro-bonded lubrication help reduce insertion force. The 6mm length can be used at 90° for many adults (technique varies—follow your clinician’s advice), simplifying injections at home or on the go.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are these syringes compatible with my insulin?
A: Yes—these are calibrated for U-100 insulin. Follow your prescription and clinician’s instructions.
Q: Why choose 1mL instead of 0.3mL or 0.5mL?
A: 1mL suits higher or combined doses and reduces the number of syringes needed. Smaller barrels may offer finer visual control for tiny doses.
Q: What do 31G and 6mm mean?
A: 31G indicates a very thin needle diameter; 6mm is the length—commonly used for subcutaneous injections with appropriate angle/technique.
Q: Will a 6mm needle be long enough for me?
A: For many adults, yes—often at 90° without a skinfold. Technique depends on individual factors; follow your healthcare professional’s guidance.
Q: Do these syringes have half-unit markings?
A: Most 1mL syringes display whole-unit increments. If you need half-unit markings, ask your pharmacist about smaller-capacity options.
Q: Can I reuse a syringe?
A: No. Reuse increases infection risk, dulls the needle, and can damage tissue.
Q: How should I dispose of used syringes?
A: Place immediately into an approved sharps container. Follow local regulations for disposal/return programs.
Q: Do I need a prescription to buy these?
A: Requirements differ by region. Your pharmacist can advise on local rules.
Q: Any storage tips?
A: Keep syringes dry, at room temperature, in their original packaging. Do not use after the expiry date.
Q: Are they latex-free?
A: Components that contact medication/skin are latex-free. Check the pack if you have material sensitivities.
