EasyTouch 1.0cc Insulin Syringes
Reliable Dosing with EasyTouch 1.0cc Syringes
EasyTouch 1.0cc insulin syringes are engineered for patients who require doses up to 100 units. These syringes are a primary choice for many due to their high quality construction and reliable performance. When managing diabetes, the accuracy of your insulin syringes is paramount. EasyTouch provides clear, easy to read graduation marks that ensure you draw the exact dose prescribed by your healthcare provider. Each syringe is manufactured to meet rigorous standards, featuring a lubricant coating and a triple-bevel cut needle for a smoother, more comfortable injection process.
Choosing the Right Needle Gauge and Length
- Needle Gauge: A higher gauge number, such as 31G, indicates a thinner needle, which often results in less discomfort during injection.
- Needle Length: Shorter needles like 5/16 inch (8mm) are often preferred for thinner patients to avoid intramuscular injection, while 1/2 inch (12.7mm) or 5/8 inch (16mm) needles may be used for deeper subcutaneous delivery.
- Capacity: The 1.0cc barrel is specifically designed for those needing between 50 and 100 units of insulin.
- Safety: All EasyTouch syringes are non-toxic, non-pyrogenic, and latex-free for patient safety.
Selecting the appropriate needle size for your 1.0cc syringe depends on your body type and comfort preferences. Here are the key factors to consider when browsing our EasyTouch insulin syringes selection:

Safe Usage and Disposal
To maintain health and safety, always use a fresh syringe for every injection. Reusing needles can lead to dulling, which causes pain and increases the risk of infection. After use, ensure you dispose of your syringes in a puncture-resistant sharps container. For those preparing their injection site, we recommend using high quality alcohol swabs to clean the skin thoroughly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many units of insulin can a 1.0cc syringe hold?
A 1.0cc syringe is designed to hold up to 100 units of U-100 insulin. It is the largest standard size for insulin syringes, typically used by patients requiring doses greater than 50 units.
What is the difference between 30G and 31G needles?
The ‘G’ stands for gauge, which measures the thickness of the needle. A 31G needle is thinner than a 30G needle. Many patients find that thinner needles (higher gauge numbers) provide a more comfortable injection.
Are EasyTouch syringes compatible with all insulin brands?
Yes, EasyTouch insulin syringes are compatible with all U-100 insulin brands. However, they are not for use with U-500 insulin or other concentrations unless specifically directed by a doctor.
