EasyTouch Insulin Syringes are designed and manufactured to the highest quality levels possible for a production single-use syringe. The quality level found in our insulin syringes can also be found throughout the EasyTouch line of diabetic products.
EasyTouch syringes come in various body and needle sizes to fit every diabetic's needs and dosages. Body size relates to the capacity of the syringe and needle size relates to the gauge of the needle.
EasyTouch syringes come in three body sizes: 1cc, 0.5cc (1/2cc), and 0.3cc (1/3cc). This pertains to the overall capacity of the syringe. The gradation markings for U-100 insulin of each size are:
Size / Maximum Dosage / Scale Increments
Generally speaking you should size your syringe based on your maximum injection dosage. For example, if you are taking 20 units per shot, you could use either a 0.5cc (50 unit) syringe or a 0.3cc (30 unit) syringe. If you are taking 60 units, use a 1cc (100 unit) syringe. Since the markings are wider apart, generally the smaller the syringe size the easier it is to read.
For example, a 35 unit dosage is easier to read on a 5/10cc/50 unit syringe than on a 1cc/100 unit syringe. It is easier to read a 15 unit dosage on a 3/10cc/30 unit syringe than on a 5/10cc/50 unit syringe.
