Insulin Needles and Syringes

Browse our range of insulin needles and syringes designed for accurate, comfortable diabetes management. We stock sterile, single-use syringes calibrated specifically for insulin dosing in 0.3ml, 0.5ml and 1ml sizes, with needle gauges from 25G to 32G to suit your preferences.

What's in This Collection

Our insulin needle and syringe range includes products from trusted brands such as BD, FMS and Unisharp. You'll find fixed-needle insulin syringes in various capacities, alongside U100 syringes designed for standard insulin concentrations. Whether you need ultra-fine 32G needles for a gentler injection experience or a specific gauge to match your routine, we carry options to meet different requirements.

How to Choose the Right Insulin Syringe

Selecting the correct insulin syringe depends on your typical dose and personal comfort. Consider these factors:

  • Syringe capacity: 0.3ml syringes suit doses up to 30 units, 0.5ml for up to 50 units, and 1ml for larger doses up to 100 units.
  • Needle gauge: Higher numbers (30G–32G) indicate finer needles that may feel more comfortable. Lower gauges (25G–29G) allow faster flow for larger doses.
  • Needle length: Shorter needles (4mm–6mm) work well for most adults and reduce risk of intramuscular injection.
