Description
  • What it is. A Sol-M® 0.5 mL insulin syringe for U-100 insulin with a fixed 31 gauge needle, 8 mm (5/16") long. The 0.5 mL barrel holds up to 50 units, which puts it in the middle of the Sol-M range: more capacity than a 0.3 mL syringe, with more readable markings than a 1 mL syringe for moderate doses.
  • Why this needle combination. The 31 gauge cannula is the finest in the Sol-M standard insulin line, and the 8 mm length is a common choice for people who have been trained on, or prefer, a slightly longer short needle. Sol-Millennium specifies tri-bevel, anti-coring needles with silicone-oil lubrication and a thin-wall cannula that helps insulin flow and shortens injection time. It suits users who want the thinnest needle in the line without moving to a 6 mm length.
  • Accurate dosing. This 0.5cc insulin syringe has bold, easy-to-read unit markings and a large flange for a secure grip while injecting. Distributor specifications also list a low dead space design, which reduces the insulin retained in the syringe after each dose. Wider unit spacing than a 1 mL barrel also makes doses up to 50 units easier to verify before injecting.
  • Packaging. Each syringe is sterile, single-use, and comes with a permanently attached needle. Syringes are packed in PE bags of 10, with 100 per box and 1,000 per case. For use with U-100 insulin only. The bag format makes it simple to dispense a measured supply, and the case quantity suits clinics and pharmacies that stock insulin syringes continuously.

FAQs

When is a 0.5 mL syringe better than a 1 mL syringe?

When your dose is 50 units or less. A 0.5 mL barrel spreads the same number of units over more physical length, so markings are easier to read and dosing errors are less likely. If doses regularly exceed 50 units, a 1 mL syringe avoids splitting injections.

Is 8 mm too long for some users?

Current injection guidance generally prefers shorter needles, such as 4 mm to 6 mm, for most adults and children to lower the risk of injecting into muscle. Some users still do well with 8 mm, especially with good technique. Your diabetes care team can advise whether a 6 mm option suits you better.

How do I avoid air bubbles in the syringe?

Inject air equal to the dose into the vial first, then draw insulin slowly with the vial upside down. If bubbles appear, tap the barrel gently and push them back into the vial, then redraw to the correct mark. Bubbles take up space and reduce the actual insulin delivered.

Are Sol-M insulin syringes covered by insurance?

Coverage depends on the plan, not the brand. Many pharmacy and medical plans cover insulin syringes with a prescription, though quantity and brand rules vary. Ask your pharmacist or insurer which syringe sizes and needle lengths are covered before ordering in bulk. Keep receipts and prescriptions on file for claims.

How many syringes should I keep on hand?

Count your injections per day, multiply by 30 for a month, and add a buffer for delays or dropped syringes. Because each syringe is single-use, running short can tempt you to reuse one. A box of 100 lasts about a month for someone injecting three times daily. Plan reorders a week ahead.
