Insulin Syringes with Needles | BD & embecta

Choose your insulin syringe

Insulin syringes are available with different insulin scales, capacities, needle gauges and needle lengths. Always select a syringe calibrated for the insulin concentration you are using — U-40 and U-100 syringes are not interchangeable.

Needle gauge refers to the thickness of the needle, with a higher gauge number indicating a finer needle. Needle length affects the depth of injection. Different capacity, gauge and length combinations are available to accommodate established injection techniques, individual requirements and user preference.

If you are unsure which specification you require, follow the guidance provided by your healthcare professional or veterinary surgeon.

Compare insulin scale, syringe capacity, needle gauge, needle length and product reference below to find the specification you require.

U-40 insulin syringes may also be required for veterinary use where a U-40 insulin preparation has been prescribed. Always check that the syringe scale matches the insulin concentration specified by your healthcare professional or veterinary surgeon.
