How it works:
The U-40 Syringe is a high quality, sterile, insulin syringe for veterinary use only. It is the preferred choice for administering insulin and managing your pet's glucose levels. Our U-40 1cc, U-40 .3cc (3/10) and U-40 .5cc (1/2) syringes come inside sharps containers, which are very easy to use. When you are ready to inject your pet, simply take one of the U-40 syringes out of the bottom of the container. After injection, place the used syringe into the hole on the top and twist the knob located on the side of the container until the syringe falls to the bottom. Our U-40 1cc syringes are also available without a sharps container.
Cautions:
Do not sterilize or reuse syringe.
Directions:
•
To draw the insulin into the syringe, inject the insulin bottle with the syringe and pull back on the syringe plunger until the proper dose is inside the syringe barrel.
•
Do not sterilize or reuse syringe.
•
For the syringes that come with sharps containers, pull an unused syringe out of the bottom on the container and when done injecting, drop the used syringe into the hole at the top and turn the knob on the side until it falls inside the container.
•
Follow your community's guidelines for the proper disposal of sharps and sharps containers.
Tip: When drawing the insulin into the syringe, keep the vial upside down, with the syringe needle pointing upwards to release the insulin back into the bottle if any air enters the syringe.

These are the best syringes for injecting the small amounts of ProZinc Insulin needed by my cat. I can easily get the bubbles out of the syringe even with my arthritic hands. The plastic container that the packages of syringes come in is also the disposal system, very nice.
These syringes are excellent quality. The case they come in is great as well. In the beginning I thought they might be hurting my cat but it was my own nerves that were causing that thought. Obviously he just needed time to get used to the routine. Now that he is, he does not even seem to care when he gets his needle which shows how well designed they are. The price is great especially considering my cat needs shots 2x a day. You end up going through them fast but the cost is fair so no complaints there! Also, fair shipping costs and the range of shipping options is a big plus in my book.
These insulin syringes are the b est..they are easy to read and are small enough that Thor doesn't even feel it..or at least he doesn't let on he does! He continues to eat while I give him his shot.
These syringes are very similar to what the Vet gave me to use the first time (same size, different brand). Very high quality. Easy to use. They don't seem to hurt Linus at all. And it is so convenient to order online instead of trying to get off work in time and fight the traffic to get to the Vet's office before they close to pick up the supplies I need.
This was the first time we had ever ordered from 1800PetMeds. From the order to the delivery the experience was nothing but pleasant. The needles are top quality and Spook doesn't mind getting his shots. So glad we decided to try you guys out.
Because of the low dose, your best bet would be to use a U-40 3/10 cc syringe (our SKU is 10958). This will make measuring 2 units of a U-40 insulin much easier.
Because you are using a small amount (less than 30 units) of insulin, I would recommend you use the U-40 insulin syringe 0.3cc 29g 1/2" (our SKU 10958). To dose your pet, fill the syringe to the 5 Unit mark. Let me know if you have any other questions.
That's a great question. These numbers refer to the amount of insulin liquid that the syringe can hold. The lower the dose of insulin, the smaller the syringe volume you want so it's easier to measure. As an example, if your dose of Humulin N is 20 units, you would use a 0.3 cc syringe, if the dose was 40 units you would use a 0.5 cc syringe and if the dose was 70 units you would use a 1 cc syringe.
On a U-40 1cc insulin syringe, would you please tell me how I would write down the first notch/line on the needle? Is it written as 0.1 IU, 1.0 IU or how? Thank you very much.
