Q: What does U-100 mean on this syringe?
A: U-100 indicates the syringe is designed for an insulin concentration of 100 units per milliliter (ml). It is important to match the syringe type with the insulin concentration prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure accurate dosing.
Q: What are the needle specifications?
A: This syringe is equipped with an extra-fine 31-gauge (31G) needle. The siliconized, ultra-fine needle is designed to reduce discomfort during injection.
Q: Are these syringes reusable?
A: No, these are sterile, single-use syringes and should not be reused. Reusing syringes can compromise sterility and increase the risk of infection.
Q: How should I dispose of used syringes?
A: Used syringes should be disposed of in a puncture-proof sharps container to prevent accidental injuries. You can then drop the sealed container at a local diagnostic lab or follow local guidelines for biomedical waste disposal.
