Insulin syringe and needles are medical devices designed specifically for administering insulin, a hormone used to manage diabetes. These tools are crucial for individuals who need to inject insulin to regulate their blood sugar levels.
The insulin syringe consists of a barrel that holds the insulin, a plunger used to push the insulin through the needle, and a needle that is inserted into the skin to deliver the insulin subcutaneously (under the skin). The needles used with insulin syringes are typically very thin and short, as the injections are intended to be shallow and delivered into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin.
