About this product
Sterile, single-use BD Ultra-Fine insulin syringes — finer needles, smoother injection, better insulin-treated diabetes management.
Embecta BD Ultra-Fine Insulin Syringes 1mL 0.25mm (31G) x 6mm 100 Pack is a sterile, single-use insulin syringe used by people with insulin-treated diabetes to draw up and inject prescribed insulin doses. Supplied in Australia by Embecta Australia Pty Ltd (formerly BD Diabetes Care, spun out 2022). Use it in accordance with the carton instructions and your healthcare professional's advice.
Key features
- 31G × 6 mm needle — one of the finer and shorter needle options for insulin self-injection in Australia
- 1 mL barrel — capacity for doses up to 100 units (U-100 insulin)
- Microbonded silicone lubrication on the needle for smoother skin entry and less injection discomfort
- Permanent-attach needle — no needle loss, no separate needle assembly
- Sterile, single-use, and supplied in 100-pack boxes for monthly use
- Manufactured by Embecta (the diabetes-care company spun out from BD in 2022)
- Funded under the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) for eligible Australians
What makes Embecta BD Ultra-Fine Insulin Syringes different
BD Ultra-Fine syringes have been the most-trusted insulin syringe in Australia for decades, and Embecta — the company spun out of BD in 2022 specifically to focus on diabetes care — has continued the same product line and manufacturing standards. The 31G × 6 mm option is the thinnest and shortest needle BD/Embecta offers in the 1 mL barrel size, which makes it well-suited to users with thinner subcutaneous fat (children, lean adults, elderly users) and to users who find the standard 12.7 mm needle uncomfortable.
Who is it for?
- Adults and children with insulin-treated type 1 or type 2 diabetes
- Users on multiple daily injection (MDI) regimens
- Users with lower subcutaneous fat who need a shorter needle to avoid intramuscular injection
- First-time insulin users who want the least uncomfortable injection experience
What's in the pack
100 sterile single-use insulin syringes, each with a permanently attached 31G × 6 mm needle. Each barrel holds up to 100 units of U-100 insulin.
