Description
The Dispovan U-40 Xtra Fine 31G Insulin Syringe is a single-use medical instrument designed for individuals who require insulin injections. It is specifically calibrated for U-40 insulin concentrations, ensuring accurate dosage for 40 units or less. The syringe features a transparent barrel for clear visibility and a super-fine 31G needle to reduce discomfort during administration. Its low dead space design helps to minimize medication wastage.
U-40 Graduated Scale: The syringe is calibrated for U-40 insulin, allowing for precise measurement of doses of 40 units or less.
Super-fine 31G Needle: Equipped with a siliconized, ultra-fine 31-gauge needle to minimize pain and discomfort during injection.
Low Dead Space: This feature reduces the amount of medication left in the syringe after an injection, preventing wastage and ensuring the full dose is administered.
Clear Barrel: Made from medical-grade polypropylene, the transparent barrel allows for easy monitoring and accurate drawing of insulin.
Single-Use Design: Each syringe is sterile and intended for one-time use to maintain hygiene and prevent the risk of infections.
Q: What does U-40 mean on this syringe?
A: U-40 indicates the concentration of insulin the syringe is designed for, meaning it measures 40 units of insulin per milliliter (ml). It is crucial to match the syringe type to the insulin concentration prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Q: Can I use this syringe for U-100 insulin?
A: No, this syringe is specifically calibrated for U-40 insulin. Using it with U-100 insulin will result in an incorrect dosage, which can be dangerous. Always use a U-100 syringe for U-100 insulin.
Q: What are the needle specifications?
A: This syringe comes with an 'Xtra Fine' 31-gauge (31G) needle, which is a very thin needle designed to minimize discomfort during injection.
Q: Is this syringe meant for single use?
A: Yes, this is a single-use syringe. Reusing syringes is not recommended as it can compromise sterility, affect dosage accuracy, and increase the risk of infection.
Q: What does 'low dead space' mean?
A: Low dead space refers to the design of the syringe that minimizes the amount of medication left in the hub and needle after an injection. This feature helps to ensure accurate dosing and reduces medication wastage.
