HMD – INSULIN SYRINGES

Insulin syringes are used for administering the prescribed insulin dose to diabetic patients. The subcutaneous administration of insulin is meant to imitate the naturally occurring pancreatic secretions. The insulin injection is typically put on the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks. The Insulin needle gauge indicates the thickness of the needle. The higher the gauge, the thinner the needle. The size of the syringe is chosen by the medical expert on the basis of the syringe’s insulin capacity as patient requirements typically vary from person to person. Insulin syringe prices are affordable. Being convenient, easy to handle, and patient-friendly, these syringes are widely used. They are meant for single use only. The insulin injection syringe has a uniquely designed structure comprising three parts: needle, barrel, and plunger. The needle is usually thin and short and covered with a special material such as silicone in order to allow it to slide through the skin causing minimal pain. Ordinarily made of plastic, the barrel is the chamber that holds the insulin. It is marked with calibrations designed to show the units of insulin being injected. The plunger is the narrow rod that slides up and down the length of the barrel. It serves to either draw the insulin into the barrel or release the insulin from the barrel through the needle. The rubber seal at the lower end of the plunger prevents the insulin from leaking out. We at HMD Ltd. offer two different brands of affordably priced Insulin Syringes – Dispo Van Insulin Syringes and Insulin Syringes.
