Insulin Syringes

Finding insulin syringes that maximize your health and investment can sometimes be a challenge. That’s why we appreciate diabetic syringes that have been designed to do both. When you’re looking to purchase an insulin syringe, there are certain questions to keep in mind:

• How much dead space does the insulin syringe have? Some syringes have large amounts of dead space, which leads to insulin that doesn’t get used — and is ultimately wasted. Look for a syringe with little to no dead space to make the most of your insulin.
• Does the plunger operate smoothly? A plunger that doesn’t move smoothly up and down could cause you to fill the syringe with too much or too little product, neither of which is healthy or cost-effective.
• Do you need to pay for additional insulin needles? Look for a diabetic syringe that includes an attached needle, so you don’t need to hassle with assembly. Auto-ground needle tips have also been designed, which improve your comfort levels.

Of course, any diabetic syringe you purchase should be sterile, non-toxic, and non-pyrogenic. If you have a latex allergy, look for insulin syringes that are clearly labeled latex-free.
