BD 1ML INSULIN SYRINGE 1X10

About

The BD 1ML Insulin Syringe is a sterile, single-use medical device specifically designed for the accurate and safe administration of insulin. Calibrated in insulin units, typically U-100, it ensures precise dosing, which is critical for managing diabetes effectively. These syringes feature a fine-gauge needle permanently attached to the barrel, minimizing dead space and reducing the risk of medication waste. The clear barrel with bold, easy-to-read markings allows for accurate measurement of the prescribed insulin dose. BD insulin syringes are engineered for patient comfort, with needles designed to reduce pain during subcutaneous injection. Proper use involves drawing up the correct dose, injecting into the subcutaneous tissue, and safely disposing of the syringe after a single use to prevent infection and needle-stick injuries, making it a cornerstone of diabetes self-management.
