1 mL Syringe

1 mL Syringe – Detailed Description

The 1 mL syringe is a three-piece medical device consisting of:

1. Hypodermic needle (optional)

2. Plunger (piston)

3. Cylindrical barrel

It is suitable for both needle-attached and needle-free applications. Produced from medical-grade materials, it is sterilized using ethylene oxide (EO) and offers safe and hygienic use across a wide range of clinical procedures.

Each syringe is composed of:

1. Laser-cut stainless steel needle (optional)

2. Polypropylene barrel

3. Polyethylene plunger

4. Latex-free gasket

The syringe is packaged in a blister pack made of medical paper and transparent film, ensuring full protection and sterility. All syringes are guaranteed to be 100% leak-proof and comply with international medical device standards.

This 1 mL (1 cc) syringe is ideal for precise dosing, making it particularly suited for pediatric applications, insulin administration, and sensitive drug delivery procedures.

Insulin Syringes – 1 mL Capacity and Usage Details

A 1 mL (1 cc) insulin syringe is designed to deliver up to 100 insulin units, with each minor line representing 2 units. For 0.5 mL (0.5 cc) insulin syringes, each minor line equals 1 insulin unit, allowing precise administration of up to 50 units.

What is an Insulin Syringe?

An insulin syringe is a medical device used to inject insulin subcutaneously. It typically features a very fine, short needle for minimal discomfort. Insulin can also be delivered using insulin pens (also known as automatic insulin injectors) and insulin pumps.

Advantages of Insulin Pens (Automatic Injectors):

1. Simple to use – dose is set and injected by pressing a button

2. Minimizes dosage errors compared to traditional syringes

3. Portable and discreet

4. Ideal for patients with visual impairments

5. Faster learning curve for usage

6. Automatic injection mechanism reduces pain and improves ease
