Insulin syringes
Choose insulin syringes designed for comfortable injections, in line with the latest recommendations on insulin delivery
Just as effective as insulin syringes with longer needles, our 6-mm insulin syringes, like the BD insulin syringe with the BD Ultra-Fine™ 6mm™ needle, reduce anxiousness, and they are less likely to cause painful injections into the muscle.1,2 Utilizing thin wall technology, they feature a thinner wall that reduces the required plunger force and that helps large insulin doses flow easily.3
They also feature a barrel with clear scale numbers and wider unit spacing that are designed to enable users to more easily draw up an accurate dose. Additionally, the larger flange is designed to allow users to more firmly hold the insulin syringe while drawing insulin. In addition to our shortest insulin syringe with a 6-mm needle, we still offer our insulin syringes with 8-mm and 12.7-mm needles.
