Frequently asked questions
Do these syringes offer precise low-dose measurement?
Yes, these BD Lo-Dose Insulin Syringes are specifically designed for highly accurate measurement and administration of smaller doses of U-100 insulin. The precision is built into the design:
- Lo-Dose ½mL Barrel: The syringe capacity is limited to ½mL, which is optimized for accurately drawing smaller medication increments and minimizing the risk of dosing errors common with larger-volume syringes.
- U-100 Calibration: The measurement scale is meticulously calibrated specifically for U-100 concentration insulin, ensuring reliability and consistency when preparing standard doses.
- Permanently Attached Needle: The integrated needle design minimizes “dead space,” guaranteeing that the full, intended dose is delivered without waste.
- Fine Needle Options: Configurations are available with fine needles, such as the 28 Gauge (Micro-Fine IV) and 31 Gauge (Ultra-Fine Short), which contribute to accurate delivery and improved user comfort.
Do these syringes feature ultra-fine needles?
Yes, the BD Lo-Dose Insulin Syringes offer specialized needle configurations designed for precision and enhanced patient comfort during U-100 insulin administration. The needles are permanently attached to the syringe barrel for safety and consistent delivery.
You can select from two available needle specifications:
- 28 Gauge x ½” (Micro-Fine IV)
- 31 Gauge x 5/16” (Ultra-Fine Short)
Note that the 31 Gauge x 5/16” (Ultra-Fine Short) option provides a finer gauge and shorter length, which is optimal for minimizing discomfort during precise, low-dose (½mL) injections.
What needle sizes are available?
The BD Lo-Dose Insulin Syringes feature permanently attached needles to ensure safety and precision. They are available in two specific configurations, both optimized for use with the ½mL Lo-Dose barrel and U-100 insulin:
- 28 Gauge (G) x ½ inch: Classified as Micro-Fine IV, this provides a standard injection option.
- 31 Gauge (G) x 5/16 inch: Known as Ultra-Fine Short, this finer and shorter needle is often preferred for enhanced patient comfort.
What are the available needle lengths?
The BD Lo-Dose Insulin Syringes offer permanently attached needles in two specific length and gauge configurations, designed for precise U-100 insulin delivery:
- ½ inch length (28 Gauge): This option features the Micro-Fine IV needle type.
- 5/16 inch length (31 Gauge): This option features the finer Ultra-Fine Short needle type.
These configurations allow users to select the optimal needle thickness (gauge) and length combination for comfortable and effective subcutaneous injection.
What is the precise capacity of the Lo-Dose syringe?
The BD Lo-Dose Insulin Syringe is specifically designed with a low-dose barrel to maximize accuracy when administering small volumes of insulin.
Key capacity specifications are:
- Total Capacity: It features a ½mL barrel capacity.
- Insulin Type: The syringe is exclusively calibrated for measuring U-100 concentration insulin.
- Dosing Scale: The markings on the barrel are graduated to show measurements up to 50 units of U-100 insulin, facilitating precise low-volume dosing.
Are these BD Lo-Dose syringes equipped with permanently attached needles?
Yes, these BD Lo-Dose Insulin Syringes feature permanently attached needles. This is a core design element that enhances safety and precision for administering low-volume doses.
Key features related to the fixed needle design include:
- Safety: The permanent attachment reduces the risk of needlestick injuries associated with needle replacement and minimizes dead space.
- Precision Dosing: The syringe uses a ½mL Lo-Dose barrel designed for highly accurate measurement of small quantities of U-100 insulin (up to 50 units).
- Needle Options: You can choose between different permanently attached needle configurations to suit user needs, such as:
- 28 Gauge x ½” (Micro-Fine IV)
- 31 Gauge x 5/16” (Ultra-Fine Short)
Are these syringes designed for U-100 insulin?
Yes, these BD Lo-Dose syringes are specifically calibrated and engineered for precise administration of U-100 concentration insulin.
They feature a low-dose design optimized for accuracy when measuring smaller volumes:
- U-100 Compatibility: The syringes are specifically calibrated to ensure accurate measurement of U-100 units.
- Lo-Dose Barrel: This design maximizes accuracy for low-volume dosing (typically ½mL capacity).
- Permanently Attached Needle: This feature minimizes dead space and enhances ease of use, ensuring consistent dosage delivery.
What packaging styles are available?
The BD Lo-Dose Insulin Syringes are offered in two distinct styles for the individual units:
- Blister Package (Blister Pkg)
- Self-Contained
Regarding quantity, the syringes are typically supplied in boxes of 100 units, with 5 boxes included per case.
Do these syringes offer highly accurate low-dose measurement?
Yes, these BD syringes are specifically engineered to provide highly accurate measurement for smaller insulin volumes, ensuring precise dosing control. They are supplied in guaranteed Factory New condition for reliable medical use.
Key features contributing to their accuracy include:
- Lo-Dose Barrel Design: The syringes utilize a dedicated ½mL Lo-Dose barrel designed for accurate measurement of smaller U-100 insulin quantities.
- U-100 Calibration: The barrel is clearly marked with fine measurement lines, calibrated specifically for U-100 strength insulin, facilitating precise dosage reading (up to 50 units).
- Permanently Attached Needle: The needle is fixed to the syringe, which minimizes the “dead space” that could otherwise trap residual insulin. This design helps ensure the full, measured dose is reliably delivered.
Are the Ultra-Fine needles comfortable?
Yes, patient comfort is a primary design feature of these BD Lo-Dose syringes. The product line offers options using high-quality, permanently attached needles:
- 31 Gauge x 5/16” (Ultra-Fine Short): This is the highest gauge (thinnest) option, specifically engineered to maximize comfort and reduce injection site discomfort.
- 28 Gauge x 1/2” (Micro-Fine IV): This configuration is also a very fine needle, suitable for different subcutaneous injection needs.
All needles are paired with the specialized ½mL Lo-Dose syringe barrel, ensuring accurate measurement and precise delivery of U-100 insulin.
