BD Insulin Syringes U40 with 31G 6mm needles are specifically designed for administering U40-concentration insulin to diabetic patients. U40 syringes are calibrated for insulin that contains 40 units per milliliter, ensuring accurate dosing. The 31-gauge needle is ultra-thin to minimize discomfort during subcutaneous injections, while the 6mm length is short enough to reduce the risk of injecting into muscle. These single-use syringes are made from high-quality materials and come sterile to prevent infection.

The clear barrel on each BD Insulin Syringes U40 31G 6mm has easy-to-read unit markings that help users measure precise insulin doses. A smooth-gliding plunger provides controlled delivery of insulin, which is essential for maintaining stable blood glucose levels. The integrated needle is coated with a lubricant to decrease injection force, enhancing patient comfort. Because these syringes are calibrated for U40 insulin, using them with U100 insulin would result in incorrect dosing; patients should always match syringe type to their insulin concentration.

Proper injection technique is crucial when using insulin syringes. Users should cleanse the injection site, pinch the skin to ensure subcutaneous delivery, and inject the insulin slowly. After the injection, the entire syringe should be disposed of in an appropriate sharps container to avoid accidental needlesticks or contamination. BD insulin syringes are latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Healthcare providers can advise on injection site rotation, dosage adjustments, and the timing of insulin administration. For children or individuals with limited dexterity, the shorter 6mm needle may offer easier and less painful injections, helping to improve adherence to insulin therapy.
