BD Ultra-Fine 6mm x 31G Insulin Syringe

BD Ultra-Fine 6mm x 31G Insulin Syringe length is supported by recent recommendations published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings that advocate using the shortest needle first-line for all patient categories. Preferred by most patients over their current needle length, BD Ultra-Fine™ 6mm x 31G insulin syringes provide approximately 3x-lower risk of intramuscular injection compared to a 8-mm needle.

Ultra-Fine™ 6mm x 31G insulin syringes come in four different barrel sizes and scale capacities to optimize dose.

Reduced risk of hypoglycemia

Longer needle lengths may lead to frequent IM vs subcutaneous tissue injections, which may cause unexplained hypoglycemia

Notes

* When compared to longer and thicker insulin syringe needles

† Excluding safety syringes

‡ Calculations assume a needle inserted at 90° without a pinch-up technique in an adult population
