EasyTouch 0.5cc Insulin Syringes
Reliable Dosing with EasyTouch 0.5cc Syringes
EasyTouch 0.5cc insulin syringes are a preferred choice for individuals who need to administer up to 50 units of insulin. These syringes are engineered for comfort and accuracy, featuring lubricant film coatings and surgical grade stainless steel. When you choose an EasyTouch insulin syringe, you are selecting a product known for its triple-beveled needle design, which helps minimize skin trauma during injection. The 0.5cc barrel size is ideal because the graduation marks are spaced further apart than on 1.0cc barrels, making it easier to read and draw precise doses.
How to Choose the Right EasyTouch Syringe
- Needle Gauge: A higher gauge number, such as 31G, indicates a thinner needle. Thinner needles generally cause less discomfort but are more delicate.
- Needle Length: Short needles, like 5/16 inch, are often recommended for those with less body fat to avoid intramuscular injection. Longer 1/2 inch needles are standard for many users.
- Graduation Marks: The 0.5cc barrel provides clear markings for every single unit, up to 50 units total.
- Safety Features: EasyTouch syringes are non-toxic, non-pyrogenic, and do not contain natural rubber latex.
Selecting the correct syringe involves more than just picking the capacity. You must also consider the needle gauge and length to ensure a comfortable experience. Here are the primary factors to keep in mind when browsing our insulin syringes category:

Quality Assurance and Safety
Safety is paramount when managing diabetes. Every EasyTouch 0.5cc syringe is individually blister packed to ensure sterility until the moment of use. The protective needle cap and plunger cap maintain the integrity of the syringe. For a complete injection routine, many users also stock up on alcohol swabs to clean the injection site. Remember to always dispose of used syringes in a proper sharps container to ensure the safety of others in your household.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 0.5cc mean on an insulin syringe?
The 0.5cc designation refers to the volume of the syringe barrel. It can hold up to 0.5 milliliters of liquid, which is equivalent to 50 units of U-100 insulin.
Can I reuse EasyTouch insulin syringes?
No. EasyTouch insulin syringes are designed for single use only. Reusing syringes can lead to needle dulling, which causes pain, and increases the risk of infection or lipohypertrophy.
Is a 31G needle better than a 27G needle?
A 31G needle is thinner than a 27G needle. Most users find thinner needles (higher gauge) to be more comfortable, though some may require a thicker needle (lower gauge) if they have thicker skin or find the thinner needles too flexible.
