Needle length (mm)

Insulin needles come in different lengths. BD Original Needles are 12.7 mm (1/2″) long, and BD Short Needles are 8 mm (5/16″) long. The BD Nano Needle 4mm (3/16″) and BD Mini Needle 5mm (5/32″) are available only in pen needles. For a comfortable injection experience, shorter needle lengths are recommended and preferred.

Needle gauge (G)

The higher the gauge, the thinner the needle. For example, 32G is thinner than a 31G needle. Insulin needles are available in many gauges (G), or thicknesses. The higher the gauge, the thinner the needle. For example, a 32 G needle is actually thinner and more comfortable than a 29 G needle.

Regular Wall

Regular Wall: This is the most common wall thickness. The thickness of the steel wall allows a good flow rate, and minimizes flexing when the needle is inserted into a vial stopper or patient.

Permanently Attached Needle

Most commonly found in insulin and ‘tuberculin’ syringes. Permanently attached needles, also known as integral needles, reduce the amount of medication waste and allow accurate mixing of different medications into one syringe.

Proper Injection Technique

Proper injection technique is essential to improve consistency in medication delivery and optimize glycemic control. It includes factors such as:

• knowing where the common injection sites are
• understanding how to rotate sites
• ensuring consistent delivery into subcutaneous (fat) layer
• choosing proper needle length
• avoiding injecting into muscle

Why is Proper Disposal Important?

Proper syringe disposal will help to:

• Store and safely dispose of used syringes and lancets,
• Protect trash collectors from accidental needlesticks,
• Prevent your used syringes from falling into the wrong hands,
• Protect the environment.
