Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a U40 syringe specifically required for caninsulin?
▼
Caninsulin is a U40 concentration, meaning 40 units per ml. Using a U40 syringe ensures that the graduation markings correspond correctly to the concentration being administered. Using a U100 syringe with a U40 preparation would result in significant under-dosing, so it is important to confirm the syringe calibration matches the product being used.
Why do these caninsulin syringes feature a fixed needle?
▼
A fixed needle design is used to eliminate the dead space between the syringe hub and the needle. This ensures that the full dose is delivered and reduces fluid waste, which is particularly important when working with low-volume measurements in specialist clinical or veterinary settings.
What syringe sizes are available in this collection?
▼

Are these Caninsulin syringes sterile?
